Ninth seed Elena Rybakina and the unseeded Jaqueline Cristian will face off in the third round of the Canadian Open. This is their first meeting since 2022, and the winner will take on Dayana Yastremska or Emma Navarro for a quarter-final berth. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Elena Rybakina was in good form in her opener as she overpowered unseeded Hailey Baptiste in straight sets. That was her 34th win in a season that has seen her claim one title and make three semi-finals.
Rybakina, who is seeking to move off 12th place in the WTA, produced a semi-final finish in her last Canadian Open appearance snd comes into this placed 12th in the live rank.
Jaqueline Cristian was also in decisive form in the previous round as she overpowered 20th seed Linda Noskova. The Romanian number one allowed Noskova, this year’s Prague finalist, seven games as she won their tie in straights.
Cristian has now won twice this week to move up to 49th in the live ranking. The 27-year-old is having one of her best tour campaigns and has produced a runner-up finish in Rabat as well as a semi-final run in Iasi.
Cristian, who is debuting in this WTA 1000 event, defeated Rybakina on a hard court the last time they met. She is currently 51st in the live rankings.

Our Elena Rybakina vs Jaqueline Cristian Prediction
Rybakina is the most accomplished tour player in this tie. She has already won one title this season and is tipped to go all the way in Montreal. This is why we have her as our overwhelming favorite to progress against Cristian.
It will, however, not be a smooth sail for the former Wimbledon champion, as she is coming up against a player she has lost to before. We expect Cristian to put up a stern test and possibly steal one set. Our prediction for Elena Rybakina v Jaqueline Cristian is for Rybakina to win in three sets.
