Editorial Prediction (May 12, 2025, UTC):

In examining the recent statistics, Royer's consistent advantage in second serve performance and breakpoint conversion suggests he holds a slight edge in sustaining rallies and capitalizing on key opportunities. His ability to save breakpoints better than Bertrand could prove crucial under pressure situations.

Royer's superior overall win percentage and experience against higher-ranked opponents further bolster his potential to dominate this matchup. While Bertrand shows strength in deciding sets, his reliance on first serve returns may not suffice against Royer’s well-rounded game.

The differences in surface preferences might not play a significant role unless the match occurs on their contrasting favored grounds. However, Royer's competitive experience and recent form imply a modest favoritism towards his success in this encounter.

Based on the facts and comparative analysis, Royer emerges as the more likely victor in the upcoming tennis match.
