Elena Rybakina vs Sofia Kenin – Match Predictions
Contents
We know it can be really challenging to decide the best option to bet on. That’s why we dig into every detail surrounding the best tennis players in the world. In this way, we offer you real data and pick objectively. To set the right bet for Elena Rybakina vs Sofia Kenin, read our free predictions and tips for this match
Elena Rybakina to Take it in Straight Sets
Although this is a match-up between two former grand slam champions, the odds suggest that this will be a one-sided contest. That’s partly because Sofia Kenin has struggled to find her footing over the past year. As a matter of fact, she’s currently ranked 170 in the world. Moreover, Kenin suffered five losses in her last seven singles matches. In contrast, Elena Rybakina has nine wins in her last 11 singles matches. Keeping that in mind, we believe that the Kazakhstani will take this in straight sets.
Under 20.5 Games
Our next prediction for this match is on the over/under games market. We’ve already established that we expect this match to end in straight sets. Furthermore, we also think that this match will go under 20.5 games. It’s fair to point out that Rybakina has dominated her opponents recently, winning six of her last eight singles matches in straight sets. In the same vein, it’s worth noting that Sofia Kenin’s last four singles matches ended in straight sets, and they all went under 20.5 games. For this reason, we are taking the under here.
Elena Rybakina vs Sofia Kenin Preview
We’ve established our predictions for this match. Now we would like to look at both players’ recent form.
Elena Rybakina
Being one of the top seeded players in this tournament, Elena Rybakina had a first round bye. The Kazakhstani has enjoyed some success this year, reaching the final of this year’s Australian Open. Rybakina will take on an out-of-form Sofia Kenin on Saturday, and she’ll set her sights on a place in the third round of this tournament.
Sofia Kenin
On the other hand, Sofia Kenin impressed in her first round match-up with Sloane Stephens. She dispatched her compatriot in two short sets, breaking her serve four times. This will be a tricky fixture for the American, as she takes on an in-form Rybakina. Can she pull off an upset today?
