This is a match-up that always produces fireworks, no matter the tournament, surface, or stage in any event. To be fair, the most exciting rivalry in WTA tennis right now is Iga Swiatek vs Aryna Sabalenka. But who has the edge at the 2024 Cincinnati Open to take the win and move into the finals?
Over 20.5 games @ 4/6 (1.67)
Based on their game styles, performances in Cincinnati, and head-to-head records, this one could be a long one! When they both hit their stride, there isn’t much to separate them. And with those odds, this seems a red-hot market to cover.
Sabalenka to win a set – yes @ 8/13 (1.62)
Sabalenka has been ruthless all week long in Cincinnati. In fact, she has yet to drop a set, which isn’t true for her opponent, Iga Swiatek. Therefore, I think if she brings her A game, she can definitely take a set from the top seed.

Swiatek vs Sabalenka – scintillating showdown coming up in Cincinnati
Let’s look a little closer at these two before you pull the trigger and cover any markets.
Iga Swiatek preview
Swiatek has fought hard in Cincinnati to reach the semi-finals. She’s dropped a couple of sets en route to the semis, and she needed all of her famous grit and determination to edge out Andreeva in the quarters. Then again, that’s what champions do – they come through when it matters. However, this does bring the question of fatigue into the equation since Sabalenka has enjoyed a much easier ride to the semis.
Aryna Sabalenka preview
Sabalenka has been in no mood to mess around at the Cincinnati Open. She hasn’t dropped a single set despite facing opponents like Svitolina and Samsonova in her last two rounds. Both of those two can play serious tennis, yet Sabalenka has blown them both off the court. She seems to be serving particularly well this tournament, too, which is one of the reasons I’ve tipped her to take a set here.
Swiatek vs Sabalenka head to head
The head-to-head between these two looks a little better for Swiatek than Sabalenka. She holds an 8-3 H2H lead over the third seed coming into this match. Most significantly, Swiatek won their last three meetings. Will this help her gain a mental edge? I suspect so, but it’s all to play for in this contest.
