Fourth seed Elena Rybakina attempts to reach her fourth WTA Tour semi-final of the year. To make it into the last four of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, Rybakina must defeat unseeded Magda Linette. Here's our match prediction.
The other three semi-finals reached by Rybakina this year were all on hard courts. The 25-year-old (26 next month) is playing only her third clay court tournament of the year. The other two both saw her win one match and then lose in the next round.
The world number 12 has won three WTA clay court tournaments, the last being in Stuttgart in 2024 and she was the runner-up in this tournament five years ago. So far this week, there's been a straight sets win over Wang Xinyu for the loss of only four games.
This is the third match between the pair. Rybakina has won both, including a straight sets win on clay. Magda Linette is 32nd in the live rankings and has won four of her six clay court matches this year.
This tournament has seen her get two straight sets wins over ninth-seeded Barbora Krejcikova and unseeded Rebecca Sramkova. Two quarter-finals have been reached this year but on hard courts.
We tip Rybakina to win in straight sets.
