Maria Sakkari vs Elena Rybakina prediction

With four of the top five seeds in the women’s singles having been dumped out of Wimbledon, 11th seed Elena Rybakina must believe there’s a big chance for her to make a really deep run in the competition. Her next opponent comes in the form of Maria Sakkari, who is aiming to reach the third round for the fifth time in her career.

When comparing these two players, Rybakina is a better all-round player on grass. She moves across the court better than Sakkari and her service game is likely to cause the Greek plenty of problems over the course of this match

With that in mind, the sensible move here would be to back Rybakina to come out on top, this despite the fact that she’s a seed, most of which are dropping like flies across the tournament so far.
