Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina Prediction 

Aryna Sabalenka has already qualified for the semi-finals so the world number one could be forgiven for easing off the gas a little here in her final group-stage match. She has beaten both Qinwen Zheng and then Jasmine Paolini in straight sets so far and she will certainly want to keep her time on court short here.

She now meets Elena Rybakina who she has met on nine previous occasions and won six of those meetings. They have met twice in 2024 and won a match apiece.

Rybakina lost her two opening matches and she is now eliminated from the competition as she cannot finish second now even if she wins this match.

She fought hard in her last match against Qinwen Zheng but lost in three sets and with nothing left to play for, it is hard to see her suitably motivated to have a chance of overcoming Sabalenka. In a match with neither playing needing a win, we have to go with Sabalenka who will have an interest in keeping some momentum and staying sharp.
