Xinyu Wang vs Elena Rybakina prediction
Elena Rybakina returns to action following her maiden Australian Open title against Xinyu Wang in Doha.
The Kazakhstani star faces a third clash with the Chinese world number 33, who eased past Emiliana Arango 6-1 7-5 in the first round.
Rybakina won both of their previous encounters in straight sets, including a 6-1 6-3 success on clay in Strasbourg last year.
The second seed will be an even tougher proposition on a faster hard court and despite Wang’s good form, if Elena has rhythm on the serve and the plus-one strike she can be unplayable.
Xinyu Wang vs Elena Rybakina tip: Under 18.5 games
