Editorial Prediction (September 4, 2025, UTC):

Recent form highlights Smith's strength in second serve performance and break point defense. Smith appears more adept under pressure, which is crucial in tight match scenarios. However, returning first serves presents a challenge for Smith, an area where Kozyreva shows superiority.

While Kozyreva has a higher overall win rate on their preferred surface, the broader picture of competitive caliber slightly favors Smith when assessing resilience in clutch moments, such as deciding sets.

Ultimately, these statistics suggest a close contest, but Smith's ability to perform under pressure and in crucial moments may tip the scales. Therefore, based on current data, Smith is the likely winner of this matchup.
