Rybakina had to put in a lot of work to advance, as the match lasted a little over 3 hours, and it will be interesting to see how much she has left. Rybakina looks to win at least 2 matches for the fifth time in her last 8 tournaments. Rybakina has won 5 of her last 8 matches on hard court.

Gauff has won 6 of her last 9 matches on hard court.

There’s no match history between these 2 players.

We could certainly see some fatigue from Rybakina in this match after she played more than 2 hours in the first round. Gauff is hitting her spots well, and she makes her opponent run a lot on defense. Don’t be surprised if Rybakina shows tired legs as they enter the second set. There’s no betting against the American in this spot.

Give me Gauff in straight sets for max betting value.
