THE PREDICTION

World number four Elena Rybakina put her frustrations with the scheduling in Montreal behind her with an excellent comeback over Jelena Ostapenko on Wednesday. The 24-year-old finished runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open back in January to prove her credentials on a hardcourt and she has since won her first two Masters titles at Indian Wells and Rome, with a defeat to Petra Kvitova in the Miami final keeping her from the rare ‘Sunshine Double’. 27-year-old Jasmine Paolini should break the top 40 on tour for the first time next week after reaching back-to-back last 16s at Masters level. The Italian lost at this stage of the Canada Masters to eventual champion Jessica Pegula last week but she has reacted impressively, conceding just seven games in two matches against Marta Kostyuk and Cristina Bucsa. Paolini played well in her first meeting with Rybakina in Rome back in May but ultimately lost comfortably in straight sets. Back Rybakina to produce an even more composed display on her best surface to win in two.
