Rybakina — Bencic. Forecast for the Abu Dhabi WTA match
Rybakina and Bencic will meet in the semi-finals of the Abu Dhabi tournament on February 7. Bencic is gradually gaining form and moving up the rating higher and higher. Belinda was once the fourth in the world. Rybakina is currently fifth in the world ranking. What will their upcoming face-to-face confrontation be like? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Elena Rybakina
KazakhstanCurrent form
Rybakina faced Ons Jaber in the quarterfinals of the Abu Dhabi competition and beat her in three sets (6-2, 4-6, 7-6). Elena made three aces during the match, made four break points and lost three games on her serve. In the second round, the representative of Kazakhstan dealt with Katie Volynets.
Professional qualities
Rybakina feels comfortable on fast surfaces thanks to her powerful serve, which gives her a big advantage when playing the first ball. Elena is one of the most attacking tennis players on the tour, punching hard and flat on both sides. However, she has difficulty defending, so it is important for her to be the first to seize the initiative in the draw.
Current indicators in the tour
Rybakina has won 12 trophies in her career, eight of which are in the WTA category. Last season, Elena scored victories on the outdoor hard court in Brisbane and Abu Dhabi, and also won the clay competitions held in Stuttgart. The representative of Kazakhstan is currently in fifth place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
The last three matches with Rybakina ended in three sets.
Belinda Bencic
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Bencic beat Marketa Vondroushova (7-5, 6-3) in the quarterfinals of the Abu Dhabi tournament. Belinda, in a confrontation with a Czech tennis player, performed one ace, realized six break points and lost four games on her serve. Earlier, the Swiss had defeated Veronika Kudermetova and Rebecca Shramkova in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Bencic does not have the same physical strength as Rybakina, but compensates for this with flat punches from both sides. Her ball consistently flies low over the net, which makes it inconvenient to handle, especially on fast surfaces. This style of play creates problems for the opponents, regardless of their tactical approach.
Current indicators in the tour
Bencic has won 16 trophies in her career, nine of which are in the WTA category. She won her last title in 2023 on the courts of Abu Dhabi. Belinda is currently ranked 157th in the world ranking, although she was once the fourth in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Bencic has ten wins in 13 matches this season.
