Sixth seed Elena Rybakina had a tough match in the last round of this Dubai Tennis Championships. In the quarter-final of this outdoor hard court tournament, Rybakina faces wild card soia Kenin. Here's our match prediction.

Rybakina is seventh in the latest rankings and a place higher in the Live Race. A win over Kenin will see her move up to fourth on the latter of those lists. The 27-year-old hass had wins over Moyuku Uchijima and ninth seed Paula Badosa. 

The latter of those two wins saw her lose the first set and then win the next two on tie-breaks. This is her third quarter-final of the year with one of the previous two being won. Only four matches have been lost this year, two to Swiatek and one to Madison Keys.

Sofia Kenin is up to 47th in the live rankings after reaching the last eight in Dubai. In the Live Race, the American is 26th and this is her second quarter-final of the year, the other being in Hobart.

This week has seen Kenin beat Donna Vekic, Marta Kostyuk (after losing the first set) and then fourth seed Jasmine Paolini. The latter of those wins saw her lose just four games, all in the first set.

We tip over 18.5 games to be played in this match.
