Editorial Prediction (June 30, 2025, UTC):

As we assess the strengths and recent forms of Erjavec and Kostyuk, Erjavec holds the advantage in second serve points and breakpoint conversions. These aspects are crucial elements that often influence the course of a match.

However, Kostyuk's experience in high-level competitions and her ability to face stronger opponents may provide her with an edge in pressure scenarios. Additionally, her superior proficiency in saving breakpoints suggests she can thrive in critical match moments.

Even with Erjavec's solid record on grass and marginally better breakpoint conversion rate, if the match extends to a deciding set, Kostyuk’s track record in such conditions predicts a strong finish.

Based on these observations, Kostyuk is predicted to be the more likely winner of the upcoming match due to her overall superior tournament experience and performance under pressure.
