Elena Rybakina vs Laura Siegemund prediction
Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina is among the favourites to make a strong run at this year's edition of Wimbledon. With Iga Swiatek's dominant run in recent months, Rybakina will be looking to close the gap and regain some ranking points. Her powerful serve and heavy groundstrokes often pile up the pressure on her opponents.
Siegemund, on the contrary, has shown a lot of promise this year but will still need to raise her level to challenge Rybakina. She held her nerve well in the previous round and saved six out of eight break points against Baindl.
Rybakina's results this year and her overall record at the All England Club will surely make her the favourite in this bout. She should be able to stamp her authority in the second round and continue her run in London.
Pick: Rybakina to win in straight sets.
