Meeting at the WTA event in Toronto, also known as the Canadian Open, for the second time, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina will battle it out for a place in the final late on Wednesday evening. Having reached the semis in Canada for the first time in her career, Gauff will be hoping to get the job done against the world number two, who hasn't quite been at her fluent best over the last week or so. An interesting match awaits.
As the betting market shows, Coco Gauff is the slight favorite ahead of this match, but we could easily argue that the American player should be favored even more, making odds of -133 look a little lenient. Undoubtedly, the current world number four has been in the hottest form of anyone at this event so far, and buoyed by what is now her best ever performance on Canadian soil, she's worth betting on to reach the final by beating a player she's never lost against.

Our Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
As we can see from the stats above, Elena Rybakina hasn't quite been at her best in Toronto. She has of course shown why she's such a highly ranked player, battling super hard and getting over the line in defiant style, but unless she can rediscover her best levels, she could easily come unstuck against a hugely in-form Coco Gauff, who is yet to drop a set and who has had longer to rest and prepare ahead of this match, which cannot be ignored.
If we also factor in that Gauff has never been beaten by Rybakina, winning when the pair last met at this event, then it's easy to conclude that the two-time Grand Slam winner should be a stronger favorite. She's definitely worth betting on to emerge victorious at odds of -133.
