Elena Rybakina vs Hailey Baptiste prediction

Elena Rybakina was a semi-finalist at the Washington Open last time out, but when considering that she was expected by many to win the competition, that outcome may well have been seen as a big disappointment from her perspective. The same competition saw Hailey Baptiste lose to Sofia Kenin in straight sets.

USA’s Baptiste advanced through to the second round after a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Whitney Osuigwe. She held her nerve to win the opening set before dominating the second set and underlined why Rybakina faces such a challenge in this second-round encounter. Don’t be surprised if Baptiste gets stronger over the course of this latest match and with that mind, consider backing over 2.5 sets to be played.

Elena Rybakina vs Hailey Baptiste tip: Over 2.5 total sets
