Editorial Prediction (September 18, 2025, UTC):

Analyzing their recent second serve performance, Zolotareva marginally leads Gjorcheska, though the difference is negligible. However, the return stats suggest Gjorcheska could have an advantage in second-serve scenarios.

Pressure situations may favor Zolotareva based on her higher breakpoint save percentage. Additionally, her overall better match success rate in the last year adds confidence to her capability in crucial moments.

The sole head-to-head encounter favored Gjorcheska, yet Zolotareva’s superior performance in break point conversion and returning first serves could tilt the scales in her favor for this match.

Given these factors, while both players are strong contenders, Zolotareva is likely to emerge victorious in this upcoming encounter.
