Zheng Qinwen will try to take Elena Rybakina to the limit again as the two contest for a spot in the semis of the 2026 US Open.
Zheng, who has won at least a set in each of her last three meetings with Rybakina, is listed at -130 to cover +1.5 sets.
Current Form:
Zheng Qinwen has found her true form at the US Open. The Olympic champion and former Australian Open finalist delivered two stunning comebacks to dispatch Madison Keys, 1-6, 7-6, 7-5, and Iga Swiatek, 7-5, 6-3, to reach the quarterfinals. Zheng, who needed to go through the qualifiers to book her spot in the main draw, has now won 7 consecutive matches in this tournament.
Elena Rybakina overpowered Naomi Osaka, 6-1, 6-4, to reach the quarterfinals and move one win away from clinching the top spot in the world rankings. The two-time Grand Slam champion has swept her first four opponents at the US Open.
The Matchup: Rybakina is 4-1 in the head-to-head series with Zheng and has won the last two meetings, though she needed three sets to dispatch the Chinese on both occasions.

Our Qinwen Zheng vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Key Stats: Zheng Qinwen might be 1-4 vs. Elena Rybakina, but the Chinese has pushed the two-time Grand Slam champion to three sets in their last three meetings.
What to Expect: Rybakina will find herself in a dogfight against Zheng. The Kazakh struggled to put away Zheng in their first two meetings this year. Unfortunately, Rybakina will need to work extra hard to clinch the win that will make her the new No.1 because the Chinese has regained her top-10 form in this tournament.
Rybakina remains the ideal pick to win this one, but Zheng has certainly established herself as a tantalizing bet at -130 to cover +1.5 set handicap.
Fearless Forecast: Elena Rybakina wins 4-6, 6-4, 7-6
Our betting prediction for Elena Rybakina vs. Zheng Qinwen: Zheng Qinwen +1.5 Sets
