Another blockbuster of a match beckons at the Miami Open as defending champion Aryna Sabalenka meets third seed Elena Rybakina. This will mark the third meeting between the two this season, but they’ve clashed 16 times in total. Read on for our prediction.
This will be the first time this year that the two are not meeting in a title match. Each has won once, with Sabalenka winning the most recent, at Indian Wells. After earlier failing to go past the Miami quarter-finals, Sabalenka powered her way to the title last season.
She will be defending it as she eyes her third gong this season while also seeking a win against her biggest rival in recent times. The world number one hasn’t dropped a set here; she beat Hailey Baptiste in the quarters.
Incredibly, Rybakina is the only player this season who has taken a set off Sabalenka. The Kazakh has done that twice, and one of them saw her win the Australian Open title.
She couldn’t replicate the same at the Indian Wells final, and revenge will be on her mind. Rybakina is playing her third Miami Open semi-final, and so far has a 100% success rate at this stage.
She is, however, a two-time losing finalist here. Rybakina has also not lost a semi-final this season but has lost three more matches than Sabalenka in 2026.
To get here, Rybakina overcame Jessica Pegula, staying second in the live rankings.
