Elena Rybakina eyes a massive win over Daria Kasatkina in the second round of the 2026 Canadian Open.
Rybakina, who annihilated Kasatkina 6-1, 6-4 in their last meeting in Abu Dhabi in 2024, faces a -5.5 game handicap valued at -110.
Current Form:
Daria Kasatkina moved on to the second round of the 2026 after clawing back from a set down to beat Xinyu Wang 1-6, 7-6, 7-5. Kasatkina opened her North American hard-court season a week earlier, competing in the main draw of the Washington Open as a qualifier. Kasatkina lost in the first round to Anna Kalinskaya 4-6, 1-6.
Elena Rybakina will begin the North American hard-court season in Toronto, where she is a two-time semifinalist. Rybakina will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing grass-court campaign, which saw her reach only the third round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open.
The Matchup: Elena Rybakina is 3-2 vs. Daria Kasatkina and has won the last two meetings.

Our Daria Kasatkina vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
The Difference Maker: Elena Rybakina should be happy to return to the hard court, where she is most lethal. Rybakina has only lost five times on hard courts and owns an 11-2 record in second-round matches this year.
What to Expect: The last time these two players met, Rybakina obliterated Kasatkina 6-1, 6-4. Expect the Kazakh to produce the same dominance in this latest meeting against Kasatkina, who is no longer a top-tier player.
Fearless Forecast: Elena Rybakina wins 6-2, 6-4
