Elena Rybakina vs Marketa Vondrousova: Preview
Elena Rybakina continues her fine form this season giving consistent performances. She had to retire in the semi-finals of the 2021 Chicago Classic and during her 2nd round match at the recently concluded 2021 Indian Wells, she did not look completely fit. This will be her 3rd appearance at the Kremlin Cup and the 2nd in the main-draw after having lost in the first round of the 2017 Kremlin Cup after winning 3 qualifying rounds.
Marketa Vondrousova will be making her Kremlin Cup debut this year and reaches Moscow from a shocking first-round defeat at the Indian Wells. Prior to playing at the Indian Wells, she made the semis of the 2021 Luxembourg Open and the Chicago Classic as well and was forced to give a walkover to eventual champion Garbine Muguruza suffering an injury.

Marketa will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 66-37 having a 21-10 record on hardcourts this season while having a season record of 29-18 across all surfaces.
