Bianca Andreescu vs Elena Rybakina prediction
This match promises to be one to look forward to. Andreescu has had a pretty decent grasscourt season so far, winning five out of seven matches so far. Rybakina, on the other hand, has won only two out of four matches on the surface so far this season.
Andreescu is a powerful hitter and will look to put pressure on her opponent with her groundstrokes. The Canadian will also try to disrupt the pace of points using her slices and astute drop shots
The Kazakh will aim to dictate the play from the baseline and look to be as aggressive as she can. Rybakina has a booming serve and the Kazakh has served 35 aces in four matches on grass. However, she's also prone to double faults and will have to rein them in against an opponent of Andreescu's caliber.
The match will be a tight one and while both players can win, Andreescu's current run of form should see her edge out Rybakina.
Pick: Andreescu to win in three sets.
