Third seed Elena Rybakina’s WTA Washington debut is proceeding well. The Kazakh will square off with Leylah Fernandez in the first semi-final, as the two clash for the third time. The winner here will meet Anna Kalinskaya or Emma Raducanu in the championship match. Below is our prediction.

Rybakina is the only remaining seeded player still in contention for the WTA Washington gong. She’s targeting a first title here on her debut, and with a 33-13 record, she rightly deserves it.

Rybakina overcame Magdalena Frech 2-0 to reach her fifth semi-final for the year. She is now two wins away from adding to her Strasbourg title. With her quarter-final win, Rybakina is 12th in the live rankings ahead of this match.

Fernandez’s resolve was clear on her return to Washington after missing last year. She wanted to do better than her first-round exit in 2023, and she has. Among the players who have fallen under the Canadian’s serve was top seed Jessica Pegula in the second round.

She then saw off Taylor Townsend in straight sets in the quarters. Fernandez came to Washington on a losing run but has now compiled a 19-17 record.

That win against Townsend not only propelled her closer to the title but also saw her advance to the first semi-final of the season. She’s currently 29th in the live rankings.

Our Leylah Fernandez vs Elena Rybakina Prediction

It might seem like there isn’t much to separate these two, but Rybakina playing her fifth semi of the year denotes her experience. She has the advantage too, having spent fewer hours on the court, following her first-round bye.

Fernandez, playing her season’s first semi-final, has been on the court for three hours more than her opponent. Fatigue might be a concern for the Canadian, though we feel she could force this into a third set. The latest of these players’ meetings needed a decider, and our prediction for Leylah Fernandez v Elena Rybakina is for Rybakina to win in three sets.
