THE PREDICTION
This promises to be a proper thriller on Wednesday between world number one Iga Swiatek, defending back-to-back titles here in Rome, and world number six Elena Rybakina, who is one of a handful of players with a positive record against the Pole. 21-year-old Swiatek is in her absolute element in the conditions here at the Italian Open and she claimed her 15th-straight win, and 12th without dropping a set, in Rome with a solid result over Donna Vekic on Tuesday. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Rybakina proved a few recent doubters wrong with an impressive straight-sets victory over Marketa Vondrousova to make it through to the quarter-finals without dropping a set but facing Swiatek in her arena will be a lot tougher than her two victories this season in the round of 16 at the Australian Open and the semi-finals of Indian Wells, where she went on to claim her first Masters title. A first meeting on clay favours Swiatek but she has been stunned twice by the Kazakh this season to leave the potential for baggage. Take Swiatek to edge this match outright.
