LiontipsElena Rybakina vs. Zheng Jingwen. Prediction and bets on the match of the WTA Finals
Command Analysis
Current form
Rybakina did not play anywhere on tour after the US Open, she was dealing with her health problems. As the opening match in Riyadh showed, the lack of playing practice had a negative impact on the tennis player game. She imposed a fight on Paolini, but it was not enough to win (6-7, 4-6). Elena made 56 unforced errors in two sets, it is obvious that even with a good game on her serve, it was difficult to win with such a number of errors.
Professional qualities
Elena has a powerful serve, which allows her to dominate the game in rallies. She has a strong forehand in her arsenal, but she is not particularly stable on the return. Thus, Rybakina had only five break points in the match against Paolini, and only converted one.
Current indicators in the tour
Rybakina has missed the last tournaments, but she still occupies a high fifth place in the world rankings. In total, Elena has 41 wins and 10 losses since the beginning of the year. It should be noted that she has won three titles this season.

Current form
Zheng Jingwen is playing in the final tournament for the first time in her career, which is a serious achievement for her. However, her debut was unsuccessful. In the first round, she had to play against an inconvenient opponent, Aryna Sabalenka. There were no special chances for success, the Belarusian tennis player was leading the game, and worked flawlessly on her serve (the Chinese player had only one unimplemented break point). As a result, the match ended with another defeat for Zheng Jingwen (3-6, 4-6).
Professional qualities
The Chinese tennis player strives to play aggressive, power tennis. She has a powerful first serve, good footwork, and can reach difficult balls on the baseline. However, against physically powerful opponents, Zheng Jingwen rarely imposes a fight.

Zheng Jingwen is the world seventh-ranked tennis player. She has won three titles since the start of the year, with her most important achievement being the Olympic gold medal in Paris. On hard courts, she has 29 wins and 11 losses this season.

2.25Tip and bets
Rybakina has beaten Zheng Jingwen twice in her career, but it is unlikely that she will be able to secure a third victory today. In the match against Paolini, the representative of Kazakhstan played with a huge number of unforced errors, could not break through her opponent on the back line, and her first serve did not always fly (only 50% hit). We do not think that it will be easier against the tenacious and unyielding Chinese.
Our prediction is Zheng Jingwen victory with odds of 1.54
Bet on total
We don't expect Elena to give up the game without a fight. Her last three matches were tie-breaks, and Zheng Jingwen is also not very stable and often loses concentration, which leads to long matches.
The second bet is total over 21.5 games for 1.74
Bet on tiebreak
Rybakina last three matches have not been without tie-breaks. In addition, in two of Zheng Jingwen last three matches, one of the sets was played for the maximum number of games. Accordingly, we recommend another option for a bet with a high coefficient.
Forecast - tie-break in the match - yes with odds of 3.10
