Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina Odds

• Aryna Sabalenka – 1/2
• Elena Rybakina – 8/5

Rybakina overcame multiple fightbacks from Jessica Pegula in the second set to win straight sets. A tense tiebreak ended with a blistering winner from the 26-year-old, which was very much the story of the match. The Kazakh star must remain aggressive if she is to stage an upset against Sabalenka.

The Belarussian made light work of Elina Svitolina in the semis. Her power game heaped pressure on Svitolina’s serve from the start.

Rybakina defeated Sabalenka in the final of the WTA Finals at the end of last year, improving her record to 6-8 against the world number one. It’s worth noting each of the last three matches have been decided in straight sets.

Eight of their previous 14 meetings have gone to three sets, however, and we’re expecting an epic on Saturday with the high standards both have been at in this tournament.

Pick: Sabalenka to win 2-1 (14/5)
