Jessica Pegula vs Elena Rybakina: Who will be the winner?
Rybakina’s serve is one of her biggest strengths. In the four matches in this tournament, Rybakina delivered a total of 46 aces and in total this season, she has smashed a total of 201 aces. The Kazakh star became the first player to serve 10+ aces for four different matches in the same tournament, a feat the great Serena Williams achieved at the US Open in 2020.
Rybakina upset the top-two ranked players Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka in the Indian Wells this year. And while Pegula won both the match in their previous encounter, going past Rybakina will be a difficult one.
Prediction: Rybakina to win in three sets.
