LiontipsAnastasia Sevastova vs Elena Rybakina. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Eastbourne
Command Analysis
Throughout the whole season Anastasia Sevastova is showing only flashes of brilliance. An experienced Latvian player can put up a wonderful performance on one tournament and then can completely fail the next one. For example, we can mention her performance at Miami tournament, where she reached the quarter-final and also she reached the round of 16 at Madrid tournament. But then she lost to Jennifer Brady in the first round of Roland Garros (3:6, 3:6).
She is also not so consistent on the grass tournament at Eastbourne. Sevastova lost the decisive qualifying match to McHale, but got to the main draw as a lucky loser. In here, she managed to beat two young players in three sets - Kostyuk (6:1, 6:7, 6:4) and Gauff (4:6, 7:5, 6:2). Sevastova's typical match is a rollercoaster, where Anastasia is often getting help from her experience.
Elena Rybakina played great on Roland Garros and for the first time in career reached the quarter-final. Kazakhstan representative had a great chance for the semi-final, but lost in the closely contested match to Pavlyuchenkova (7:6. 2:6, 7:9).
Elena has played her first two matches on the grass in the previous week, at Berlin. In Eastbourne Rybakina is improving during the main draw. In the first round she lost one set to Dart (6:2, 6:7, 6:4), but in the second round she recorded a confident victory over Svitolina (6:4, 7:6).
