Elena Rybakina as Rebecca Shramkova. WTA Doha Match forecast and bets

Current form

Last week, Rybakina held a difficult tournament in Abu Dhabi. From the point of view of the result, everything was quite good – reaching the semifinals. However, Elena did not demonstrate a stable game at those competitions, she played three sets in all three matches. In Doha, she started immediately from the second round and delighted her fans with a confident victory over Stearns (6-2, 6-4). As a reminder, she needs to defend her points from last year's final on the local courts.

Professional qualities

Elena takes full advantage of the potential of her powerful first serve, which allows her to score a point either with an ace or literally with a second shot. Plus, she has a powerful stable forehand in her arsenal. At the reception, Rybakina does not always play confidently and reliably.

Since the beginning of the season, Rybakina has played 12 matches in the tour, in which she scored nine victories. Her best result so far is the semi–final of Abu Dhabi. In the world ranking, she is on the seventh line.

Rebecca has won against Angelina Kalinina (6-2, 6-3) and Mirra Andreeva (3-6, 6-3, 7-5). In a duel against a Russian tennis player, Shramkova fully demonstrated her intransigence and ability to adapt to her opponent's style of play.
