Elena Rybakina vs Mirra Andreeva: Match Preview

Fifth-seeded Elena Rybakina has had an excellent couple of years. Starting from winning her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon 2022, the Kazakh has been on a roll. However, her best Grand Slam finish this year has been a final appearance at the Australian Open 2023. Regardless of this result, the Wimbledon champ has been making immense progress in the sport. She has won two WTA 1000 titles in the 2023 season alone, one at the Indian Wells Open and the other at the Italian Open.

Mirra Andreeva, on the other hand, is just beginning her career, at just 16 years old. However, she has reached her highest ranking of World No.57 in the 2023 season. While the Russian has yet to open up her page in the book of WTA titles, she has shown immense progress. She only turned pro in 2022, and yet she already made it to the fourth round of the Wimbledon championship in 2023. She is playing her best possible game at the moment.

Elena Rybakina vs Mirra Andreeva: Match Prediction

World No.5 Elena Rybakina is in flaming hot form at the moment. She is arguably playing the best tennis of her career to date. With a spectacular two seasons on the WTA tour, the Kazakh can completely rely on her skills to win the match against the 16-year-old.

While the Russian teen is playing at a personal best level, she is nowhere near defeating Rybakina at this point in her career. However, while a victory might not seem possible for Andreeva, she will definitely play her best game possible to contest the Kazakh.

Prediction: Rybakina to win in straight sets.
