LiontipsElena Rybakina vs. Jessica Ponchet. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Due to Rybakin's illness, she did not perform anywhere for a long time after Wimbledon. Her comeback was unsuccessful - she lost to Fernandez at the start in Cincinnati. It was decided to part ways with her coach. As a result, in New York, Elena had an ambiguous first-round match against Aiyava (6-1, 7-6). One could see an inexplicable decline in the second set, when she made five double faults, gave up her serve, and, on top of that, also left with three set points.

Rybakina has decent physical strength, is capable of powerfully hitting through balls, which she regularly uses. The tennis player has a solid serve in her arsenal, and managed to "hit" 11 aces in the opening match.

Due to health problems, Rybakina missed individual tournaments, but nevertheless we see that she has 41 wins in 50 matches. On hard, the indicators are no less solid - 23 wins in 28 matches. In the world ranking, Elena is currently in fourth place.

Current form
Before this year, Ponchet had never passed the qualification in New York. Now, not only did she manage to pass three qualifying rounds, but she also beat Zheng Saisai in the first round of the main draw (6-4, 6-1). This victory should not be overestimated, given that her opponent is far from her best form. Nevertheless, one cannot ignore the fact that the Frenchwoman won all her victories at the tournament, taking into account the qualification, with an exact score of 2-0 in sets.

2.24Tip and bets
Ponche took advantage of the not very difficult tournament grid and made it to the second round of the US Open, which is already a huge success for her. However, overall, we have a rather mediocre tennis player in front of us, who has nothing in her arsenal to counter Rybakina . Elena clearly needs a confident victory now, which is what we expect from her, the opponent is suitable for this.
