Editorial Prediction (May 16, 2025, UTC):

Based on recent statistics, Gracheva appears to have a slight edge in several key areas. Her better performance on return serves, especially first serves, and her slightly higher second serve win rate suggest an advantage in controlling rallies.

Additionally, Gracheva's superior break point conversion rate and previous head-to-head victories over Rakhimova further enhance her prospects. However, Rakhimova's ability to save breakpoints and her solid match-win percentage cannot be overlooked.

Despite Rakhimova's consistent performance over the past year, the fact that Gracheva has won more head-to-head encounters and has faced tougher opponents might give her the upper hand.

Taking all factors into consideration, Gracheva is most likely to win the upcoming tennis match.
