Elena Rybakina vs Peyton Stearns Prediction

USA’s Peyton Stearns represents a potential banana-skin for Elena Rybakina, who will need to be on her game against the promising Cincinnati native. Rybakina is coming off the back of a solid outing at Abu Dhabi Open, reaching the semi-finals before losing in three sets to eventual winner Belinda Bencic.

This should ensure that Rybakina doesn’t show any kind of rust, with her match fitness still high and coming off the back of having played just a few days ago. Stearns poses a challenge but Rybakina has to be favoured to get the job done and move on to the next round.
