Elena Rybakina vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction

Elena Rybakina was in good form in the quarter-finals beating Sofia Kenin 6-2 7-6 and it was her serve that was firing on all cylinders. She blasted a staggering 17 aces to lay the foundation for the victory and if she can continue that in the semis, she will take some stopping.

She meets 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva who is coming off an unbelievable win over Iga Swiatek. She was better in virtually every facet beating Swiatek 6-3 6-3 to earn this semi-final clash with Rybakina. 

The pair met once before in Beijing in 2023 and after losing the first set, Rybakina won in three. It is fair to say that Andreeva has come on plenty since then and even though she is still just 17, she is playing some high-level tennis.

There is little between the two according to the bookies and understandably so. We have gone back and forth and can make a case for either but we do not see either playing dominating or controlling for long spells. Consider game betting and there is every chance this goes to three sets.
