Two-time Grand Slam winner and world number two Elena Rybakina, who has equaled her personal best of reaching the US Open fourth round, will be back in action on Monday, when she'll take on four-time Grand Slam winner and world number 13 Naomi Osaka. This has the potential to be a classic contest.
Looking at the early lines ahead of this match, we can see that neither player is considered to be a strong favorite, and let's face it, that's about right. This is, after all, a very tough match to call. One bet that does appeal at odds of +130 is 'Over 2.5 Sets'. The pair shared three sets when they faced off on a hard court just under a month ago, and with neither player going off the boil since, we could easily see a similar contest unfold at Flushing Meadows.

Our Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Over the last week, Elena Rybakina has looked in hot form, and she has been winning in straight sets. However, she's done so against lesser players than Naomi Osaka. Against the top players, Rybakina has not been able to win so comfortably in recent times, winning only one of her last seven matches against top-20 competitors in straight sets. Two of her last three fully completed hard-court matches against top-20 players have contained three sets, one of which was against Osaka.
If we also consider that Osaka endured a three-set match against a top-20 player last time out, odds of +130 for 'Over 2.5 Sets' start to look a little too lenient to ignore.
Our Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
