Editorial Prediction (June 9, 2025, UTC):

As Ishii and Ryser prepare to face off again, both players come with strengths and vulnerabilities. Ishii shows slightly superior second serve and defensive skills under pressure, which could be crucial during pivotal moments in the match.

Ryser, however, has demonstrated better first serve return efficiency and has previously beaten Ishii on indoor hard courts, the surface for this upcoming match.

Despite Ishii’s resilience in deciding sets, Ryser’s previous victory and marginally better breakpoint conversion rate could tip the scales in her favor.

Taking both players' current forms and previous encounters into account, Ryser is predicted to be the likely winner of this match.
