Sun, with a respectable 41.79% of her second serve points gobbled up, slightly trails behind Zheng, who manages to snag 43.09% of hers. Clearly, when it comes to second serves, Zheng is slightly more of a virtuoso, orchestrating her shots with a tad more flair.

The returning game stats, however, paint a different picture. Sun, with her sunny disposition, wins a modest 42.64% of her opponent's second serve points, but Zheng proves to be the queen of returns, fetching a whopping 51.42%. On the first serve returns, though, both seem content with a friendly stalemate, as Sun edges out at 24.94%, and Zheng follows closely at 24.12%. Ladies and gentlemen, keep your eyes peeled when Zheng takes the returning spotlight!

When the pressure cooker heats up, Sun remains cool as a cucumber, saving 59.63% of breakpoints hurled her way. Zheng, slightly less relaxed under pressure, saves 52.07%. Sun's penchant for clutch moments could earn her a fan or two among the in-game betting enthusiasts.

Reflecting on recent gladiator performances, Sun has won 58.18% of her matches in the past year, bringing in a workmanlike record of 32/23. Meanwhile, Zheng emerges as a terror on the courts, with an impressive 72.88% match victory (43/16). It seems Zheng has been soaking up more trophy shine.

Surface analysis adds another comedic twist. Sun, the grass court gazelle, prances to victories 66% of the time, truly feeling at home on the lush green. Clay, however, proves to be a stickier situation for Zheng, who only manages 27% wins on the verdant grass. But on clay, Zheng transforms into a conqueror, winning a kingly 76% of her clay court battles.

Diving into the world of tournament levels, Sun has been dominating the Challenger/ITF circuits (victory at 66.67%), while Zheng struts her stuff at the Masters series (victory at 62.96%). It's an amusing contrast, reminding us that when comparing these stats, apples to apples isn't always possible without considering the stage they've been dancing on.

Having locked horns just once before, Sun emerged triumphant, with a 2-1 set victory over Zheng in a cheeky tête-à-tête at Wimbledon. This result makes Sun the reigning champ of their head-to-head history, with the suspenseful victory ringing in at a dramatic average of 1:57:0 for match lengths.

If the match goes down to the wire, Sun has a knack for deciding set victories, picking up 69% wins over the last year. Zheng, eager to match her, tallies an enviable 70% in such heart-pounding scenarios. In the bizarre world of tiebreaks, their record is hilariously barren—neither has bested the other in this arena.

Examining the quality of opponents, Sun faces adversaries at an average rank of 159.73, while Zheng battles it out with peers averaging a rank of 79.1. It seems Sun prefers opponents who pose less of a certain 'smash' factor.

Who will carry the day in this upcoming clash? Will it be Sun, the dark horse in head-to-heads, or will Zheng milk her current form superiority? With all the stats considered, my prediction is Zheng might have the edge, but brace yourselves for a fun ride nonetheless!
