Our Xinyu Wang vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Get me Xinyu Wang at Over 7.5 Games (-125). China’s No.2 women’s singles player has put together a rather strong start to her 2026 campaign, compiling an 11-4 record. She also has plenty of experience playing elite-level competition with a 4-12 record against top-10 players and a 3-5 record against the WTA top-5.
Rybakina is the betting favorite to win the title in this event following a remarkable title run in Melbourne. However, let’s not forget that she took some rest for over a week, and this inactivity might take her out of the flow.
Wang is no stranger to playing top-tier opponents. If she gets a fast start here, Wang can easily rattle off games in the blink of an eye. Although there’s a slim chance he upsets Rybakina, the Chinese will put up a fierce fight against the hottest player on the tour.
