Over 19.5 Games

This match promises to be a riveting encounter as their distinct playing styles create an intriguing contrast. Stephens, known for her defensive finesse and counterpunching abilities, will face off against the aggressive and powerful game of Rybakina.

Anticipating another tightly contested affair, the Kazakh’s strategic gameplay and Stephens’ defensive finesse will likely lead to a competitive match. Considering their recent performances, it’s plausible that Rybakina will secure a 2-1 victory, echoing her previous triumphs.
