Elena Rybakina vs Jeļena Ostapenko Prediction: Anything Can Be Expected

Prediction for the WTA Australian Open Championship Elena Rybakina vs Jeļena Ostapenko match, which will take place on January 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina started the tournament in Melbourne, being on the 25th line of the WTA rating. Currently, Elena is 16th in the peloton, but Rybakina will be in the top twenty. She can rise to the top ten, where she should be after winning Wimbledon. Rybakina made one of the loudest sensations at the Australian Open, beating the first racket of the world, Iga Swiatek. After Ashleigh Barty finished her career, Swiatek became the main star of women's tennis, almost invincible, like Serena Williams. Swiatek was beaten in two sets with the score 6:4 and 6:4. The match lasted an hour and a half. Note Elena's excellent statistics on the first serve. Rybakina won 80% of the points but second only 46%, which is the norm for women's tennis. Before knocking Swiatek out of the draw, Rybakina was stronger than Italian Cocciaretto, Slovenian Juvan, and American Collins.

Jeļena Ostapenko

Ostapenko started the tournament with the world's seventeenth racket; currently, the Latvian is the 11th racket of the WTA, with good chances to catch on to the top ten, but for this, she needs to beat Rybakina in the quarterfinals. By the way, Ostapenko has a good experience defeating Rybakina. However, this happened even before the victory of the Kazakhstani at Wimbledon. Ostapenko did not impress in front of AO, losing two of three matches at tournaments in Adelaide, but in Melbourne, the Latvian is doing well: four wins in four games over Yastremska, Bondar, Baindl, and Gauff. Ostapenko had a lighter game than Rybakina, so it is not surprising that the Latvian is listed as an outsider despite the statistics of personal meetings.

Expert Betting Tips

Ostapenko can set herself up for major tournaments and show results at them, which, in general, we are seeing in Melbourne. However, approximately the same can be said about Rybakina. After defeating Collins, the finalist of the last AO, and Swiatek, the first racket of the world, anything can be expected from Rybakina, up to winning the tournament. Rybakina is at the peak of her form and is ready to take revenge on Ostapenko for defeats in the past. We won't be surprised if Rybakina beats Ostapenko in two games.
