ARANTXA RUS VS ELENA RYBAKINA PREDICTION
World number four Elena Rybakina started sluggishly against Greet Minnen before blasting through in straight sets on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has already won three WTA titles this season in Brisbane, Abu Dhabi and most recently Stuttgart where she became the last person to beat two-time defending Roland-Garos champion Iga Swiatek in three sets.
World number 50 Arantxa Rus grabbed a big upset on paper over former number one Angelique Kerber but the Dutchwoman is confident on clay, on which she finally won her maiden WTA title in Hamburg last summer, and capable of the occasional upset.
A three-set victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the Rouen Open last month says Rus should not be underestimated but Rybakina is a world-beater on any court at her best and she should improve on her opening performance. Back the Kazakh to win in two.
