Elena Rybakina vs Talia Gibson prediction
Elena Rybakina defeated Marta Kostyuk for the second time this season as she made it through to the next round in Miami. The two-time Grand Slam champion won 85% of her first serve points and was not broken on serve as she recorded a comfortable 6-3 6-4 win after one hour and 21 minutes. Rybakina, who reached the final of Indian Wells, is seeking a first title in Miami after losing in the final on two previous occasions.
She now faces Talia Gibson, who continued her incredible run of form with a dominant win over Iva Jovic. Gibson controlled the match from start to finish and didn’t even concede a break point as she won 6-2 6-2. The Australian has beaten five players ranked inside the top 20 of the world rankings over the past month.
Gibson’s run has been remarkable, but Rybakina will be her toughest test and a step up when compared to her previous opponents.
