Elena Rybakina vs Simona Halep: Preview
Former World No. 1 Simona Halep is a name to reckon with in the world of tennis. However, she hasn’t had a very fruitful 2021 season. She did well in the Australian Open where was able to reach the quarter-finals, but after that, she failed to impress in several tournaments.
However, much to the delight of her fans, Simona seems to have regained form at the US Open. She defeated Camila Giorgi in her first-round in straight sets and delivered a similar performance in the second set against Kristína Kučová. She would look to continue on her merry way by thrashing Rybakina in the next round.
On the other hand, Elena Rybakina would also be riding high on confidence as she went past Caroline Garcia in her last game with relative ease. Moreover, much like Halep, even Rybakina is yet to drop a single set in the tournament. This promises to be a nail-biting contest.

Elena Rybakina vs Simona Halep: Prediction
Simona Halep has been in immaculate touch in the first two rounds at the US Open. She will walk into the third round as a firm favorite. However, Rybakina, who hasn’t been in bad touch either, is expected to give a tough fight to the Romanian tennis star.
Prediction: Simona Halep to win in 3 sets
