THE PREDICTION
World number four Elena Rybakina came back from 4-1 down in the opening set against a resurgent Leylah Fernandez to win in impressive straight sets on Thursday. The 24-year-old looks set for a thrilling showdown with world number one Iga Swiatek in the final on Saturday if the pair can avoid upsets today but this is no gimme against former number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who beat the Kazakh in three set sin their only previous encounter in the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros in 2021. Pavlyuchenkova went on to finish runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova in Paris that summer and she reached the last eight again last season in the early stages of what has proved to be an excellent comeback from injury. The Russian ended Danielle Collins’ fierce run in straight sets on Thursday to reach this stage without yet dropping a set but this should be one step too far against Rybakina, who looks back in her imperious groove after that odd blip in Melbourne. Back Rybakina to win.
TIP: ELENA RYBAKINA TO WIN
