Elina Svitolina vs Elena Rybakina prediction
Elena Rybakina raced into the quarter-finals with a thumping win over Karolina Pliskova.
The world number two wasted little time in sinking the veteran Czech 6-0 6-2 to set up an eighth career showdown with Elina Svitolina.
The Ukrainian was far too efficient for Nikola Bartunkova as she ended the lucky loser’s run with a routine 6-2 6-3 success.
Rybakina leads the head-to-head 4-3 and won their most recent tussle 7-5 6-4 at Indian Wells earlier this year. However, Svitolina has had the edge on clay, winning two of their three encounters on the dirt including a 6-3 6-4 success in Madrid last year.
The second seed is operating at a higher level than she was 12 months back and with both players producing top-class tennis at present, it could well be a match with plenty of games, although we do fancy the Kazakhstani star if you want the outright winner.
