Elena Rybakina vs Victoria Azarenka Prediction & Picks - WTA Miami

This is no easy match to call, let's face it. Elena Rybakina may be higher in the WTA rankings right now and she is a formidable opponent, though Victoria Azarenka is enjoying something of a renaissance period right now, and over the last week or so, she's proved that she's still a top player on hard courts. After all, the Belarusian has won this tournament before and this is clearly a venue where she thrives. Right now, despite what the rankings and the early odds suggest, there's probably little between the pair, so it would be no surprise whatsoever to this match go the distance. That's what happened when the pair met on a hard surface in Qatar recently (before Azarenka retired), while Rybakina is making a habit of taking her matches to three sets. All in all, as two very good players clash, 'Over 2.5 Sets' looks like a solid play at odds of +135.
