Fourth seed Elena Rybakina will play 21st seed Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals of the 2024 WTA Wimbledon Championships. The winner in this Wednesday game will take on Jelena Ostapenko, Danielle Collins or Barbora Krejcikova for a place in the championship match. Below we have the numbers and a prediction for this match.

Rybakina is now three wins away from being crowned champion again at the All England Club. The world number four triumphed here in 2022. She was eliminated in her title defence last year in the quarter-finals. To return to the last eight, Rybakina defeated 17th seed Anna Kalinskaya in straight sets.

Their showdown ended prematurely in the second set with Rybakina up 3-0. The Kazakh, who defeated Svitolina for a second time a month ago at the French Open, has now compiled a 39-7 record. She first defeated Svitolina three seasons ago in Eastbourne, their only encounter to date on grass.

Elina Svitolina has also defeated Rybakina twice. She won their first encounter to lift the title in Strasbourg back in 2020. Her last win was at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021. As she is a two-time Wimbledon semi-finalist, she will be confident of getting back to winning ways in this fixture.

Svitolina defeated Wang Xinyu in the fourth round to continue a run of three successive wins without losing a set. Among those, the Ukrainian has defeated in straight sets, is two time-time finalist here Ons Jabeur. The 29-year-old has now won 22 of 34 matches. Despite this, she has dropped nine places in the live ranking to 30th. This is after she lost more than 300 ranking points.
