Editorial Prediction (November 17, 2025, UTC):

In evaluating each player's recent performance, Kim slightly leads in second serve points won and break point conversions, demonstrating efficiency in critical game elements. This might give Kim an edge in breaking Kobori's serve and defending her own.

Conversely, Kobori’s superior return skills on second serves, combined with her psychological advantage from a previous win over Kim, may neutralize some of Kim's superior stats.

Considering Kobori’s better ability to handle pressure, evidenced by her higher breakpoint save rate and success in deciding sets, she might be more resilient during key match moments.

Given the strengths and recent performances of both players, with Kobori's slight edge in previous face-offs and consistency under pressure, she is perhaps the more likely winner of their upcoming match.
