Editorial Prediction (May 6, 2025, UTC):

The upcoming match presents an intriguing clash of styles and recent forms. Begu's superior recent matches and better performance on Clay could play to her advantage.

Kvitova's overall head-to-head dominance cannot be overlooked, but her recent form suggests vulnerabilities.

Ultimately, if the match becomes a battle of nerves in tight situations, Kvitova’s breakpoint-saving ability could be a deciding factor.

Based on the current analysis, Kvitova still holds an edge, but it is a precarious one, making her the likely winner despite Begu's recent momentum.
