The WTA 250 action continues in Cleveland in a RO32 round clash between Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse and the rising American, Hailey Baptiste. Read on to discover our Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Hailey Baptiste match prediction.
These two are no strangers to each other, with Baptiste already holding a convincing head-to-head edge. Baptiste defeated Ruse 6-3, 6-0 in their only prior meeting, leaving no doubt about her superiority on that occasion. While both players recently lost in the Cincinnati doubles draw, their singles form paints a clearer picture.
Baptiste’s last singles match saw her narrowly edged out in three sets by fellow American Clervie Ngounoue, a match in which she started as favourite. Ruse, meanwhile, is on a steep downward spiral, losing five straight singles matches, including a straight-sets loss to Aoi Ito, where she again entered as the favorite.
With Ruse winless in her last four hardcourt matches and yet to win a set on the surface during that run, this WTA 250 showdown leans heavily in favour of the American.

Our Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Hailey Baptiste Prediction
While both players are looking to recover from recent losses, momentum and historical form suggest Baptiste is better positioned to turn things around. The American’s dominant win in their only previous meeting, combined with Ruse’s concerning hardcourt form, tilts this contest in Baptiste’s favour.
She’s not only ranked higher but also shown better performance levels in defeat, especially when taken to three sets. Ruse, on the other hand, continues to struggle to win sets, let alone matches, making a turnaround here seem unlikely. Hence, our Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Hailey Baptiste prediction is Baptiste to win.
