Magda will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 162-126 and is 6-7 on the surface having picked up form very late on the Hardcourts. The Pole is 16-15 for the season across all surfaces. Elena comes into the clash with a career Hardcourt record of 75-41 and is 15-12 on the surface for the season having an overall surface record of 29-19 for the season.

Looking at the numbers and taking the recent form into consideration, Rybakina looks the favourite to win the clash unless Magda has some surprise for the Kazakh.

Prediction: Elena Rybakina to win in 3-sets.
