Marketa Vondrousova vs Elena Rybakina – Match Predictions
Contents
Elena Rybakina to Win
Despite being the favourite among bookmakers, we are predicting that Vondrousova will fall to Rybakina. Vondrousova won their last match and prefers to play on clay, giving her an advantage in this matchup. On the other hand, with a much more rounded playing style, Rybakina is well-rested after Anna Kalinskaya withdrew in her last match, giving her a physical edge over Vondrousova. In addition, Rybakina has shown her ability to go deep in competitions, reaching the final of the Australian Open and triumphing at Indian Wells. Based on this, it is difficult to bet against her in this duel.
2-0 to Elena Rybakina
Only three of Vondrousova’s last ten matches have seen extended time on the court with three sets being played. On the other hand, Rybakina has only seen one of her ten fixtures see blows exchanged and a deciding set needed. The duo have a very similar win-loss record in this period, Rybakina winning seven matches while Vondrousova’s tally reads on more. It is the former, whom we favour in triumphing and expect to see the scoreline read 2-0 in favour of Rybakina.

Marketa Vondrousova
Despite being placed outside the top 50, Marketa Vondrousova is one of the more impressive players on clay in 2023. The Czech left-hander has reached the fourth round of the Rome Masters, after defeating Bianca Andreescu and Maria Sakkari. She used her drop shot and lob to great effect in the previous rounds, and fans will be looking forward to it again as she takes the court against a top contender in Elena Rybakina.
Elena Rybakina
Elena Rybakina’s impressive form on the WTA Tour continues in 2023. The reigning Wimbledon champion was beaten in the Australian Open final by Aryna Sabalenka. Rybakina avenged her defeat against the world number 2 in the Indian Wells. She is known for her power and aggression, preferring to hit the ball hard and flat from both wings in this fourth-round affair.
