Tennis fans are in for a treat as the two hard-hitters in women’s tennis are set for a showdown with a spot in the third round of the Cincinnati Open at stake. Canada’s Leylah Fernandez will take on Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in the second round of this WTA 1000 tourney. Fernandez, the former US Open finalist, must take her US Open preparation into high gear if she wants to go deep into this tournament. She will be facing a formidable second-round foe in Rybakina, who received a first-round bye after earning the No.4 seed. Fernandez rallied from a set down to beat China’s Yuan Yue 3-6 6-4 6-3 in the opening round. Rybakina, on the other hand, will be playing her first match since coming up short at the 2024 Wimbledon Open, where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova 3-6 6-3 6-4 in the semi-final round. Rybakina was supposed to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics but she pulled out of the tournament two days before it got underway because of acute bronchitis.

Our Leylah Fernandez vs Elena Rybakina Prediction

Rybakina is viewed by bookmakers as a strong pick to win this match but I feel Fernandez can put on a real challenge against the Kazak for the reason that she’s the more active player of the two over the last three weeks. On the other hand, it’s hard to ignore Rybakina’s 88 percent win rate on hard-court matches this 2024. The Kazakh played in the finals of the Miami Open early this year, losing only to Danielle Collins of the United States 5–7, 3–6. Once the dust settles in, I still believe that Rybakina will be the one who ends up taking the win with Fernandez giving all she got in this match. Our betting prediction for Leylah Fernandez vs. Elena Rybakina: Fernandez to cover +3.5 games, +105, at BetMGM.
