Zelnickova's advantage in second serve points and being better under pressure could give her the upper hand against Schmidt. Her ability to win against slightly stronger opponents adds to her credibility.

However, Schmidt’s notable first serve return performance and higher breakpoint conversion rate should not be underestimated, as they can be decisive factors in crucial moments.

Considering all factors, Zelnickova appears poised to emerge victorious in their upcoming match.
