Maria Timofeeva vs Kamilla Rakhimova Prediction & Picks - WTA Monterrey Open

Prediction published on 8/23/26, 1:22 PM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 8/24/26 at 4:16 AM in Tennis Picks

The race is on between two Uzbekistani players in Monterrey, where both Maria Timofeeva and Kamilla Rakhimova would have been hopeful of making it through to the main draw, but as they're drawn against each other in this final qualifying round, only one of the pair can feature once the tournament gets properly underway on Monday.

In the early betting, it is Rakhimova who is most fancied, and that's not easy to argue with. If anything, the higher-ranked player should be even stronger in the market. When these two players last met, Rakhimova came out on top, while she's won two out of two on hard courts against this particular opponent, dropping zero sets in the process. Having defeated each of her last three lower-ranked opponents on this North American hard-court swing, she can get the job done.
