The upcoming match between Sun and Pavlova appears to be evenly matched based on their track records and recent performances. However, Pavlova's consistent strength on second serves and her resilience under pressure could give her a slight edge.

Sun, although slightly better in first serve returns and breakpoint conversion, has struggled in converting these advantages into match victories, especially in their previous encounters.

Considering Pavlova's success on Hard surfaces and her superior head-to-head record against Sun, she is more likely to win the upcoming match.
