THE PREDICTION

Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina is looking in serious form ahead of the US Open after three straight-set victories on the spin this week in Cincinnati, most notably over Garbine Muguruza and Alison Riske-Amritraj. The 23-year-old came close to a deep run at the Canada Masters last week in a three-set epic defeat to Coco Gauff and it has taken top 10-adjacent players to beta her since July. World number 24 Madison Keys could fit that mould after stunning world number one Iga Swiatek on Thursday, also coming through to the quarter-finals without dropping a set after ousting Yulia Putintseva and Jelena Ostapenko. Former world number seven Keys was the champion here in 2019 and she will be well-backed as a popular home player but understated Rybakina is currently even better than she can appear on court. Keys beat Rybakina in three sets in their only previous meeting at Roland-Garros back in June, though, suggesting backing the American to win at least a set is a suitable option. Outside of an accumulator, backing Rybakina to edge this seems a reasonable risk.
