Editorial Prediction (June 18, 2025, UTC):

The head-to-head record favors Imai, having won their only previous clash. This could provide a psychological edge coming into the match.

Chappell's superior second serve and first serve return stats highlight his prowess in certain aspects of play, potentially giving him control over key points.

Imai's adaptability and slightly better recent match wins point to a consistent form that could help him in clutch situations.

The higher level of opponent quality faced by Chappell might give him a competitive edge if he can manage the pressure.

With both players excelling in different areas, the match promises to be a tight contest. However, given Imai's previous victory and better overall recent form, he appears to be the most likely winner in this upcoming encounter.
