The WTA Berlin Open continues with more round of 16 matches today, with Elena Rybakina taking on Katerina Siniakova at Steffi Graf Stadion. The match is expected to be a good tussle between the pair, considering how their earlier battles have panned out. The winner of this match will face the winner of the match between Aryna Sabalenka and Rebeka Masarova for a place in the quarters.

Elena Rybakina vs Katerina Siniakova Preview

Rybakina enters the Berlin Open after a somewhat surprising loss to Tatjana Maria in the HSCB Championships at the Queen’s Club earlier this month, but earned a straight-sets win over Ashlyn Krueger in the previous round to continue building momentum through tennis’ grass swing.

Rybakina has been quite dominant on serve this year with 210 aces as against 97 double faults. She holds a first serve percentage of 72.9%, while winning 79.6% of her service games. She has also converted 40.5% of her break points.

On the other hand, Siniakova started her grass-court swing with a round of 32 loss in her first match at the Libema Open, but has come through the qualifiers and her round one win over Viktoriya Tomova without breaking a sweat.

The Czech has struggled quite a bit on serve this year, hitting just 30 aces while serving up 88 double faults. She has a low service games won percentage at 55.7%, and has conceded serve on nearly 51% of break points. Her return game has been decent, with 35.4% return games won and 40.2% conversions on break points.

Rybakin has had a much better year, and her stronger game on grass should help her in this match as well. She is the 2022 Wimbledon Champion, which backs up her ability to play on this surface.

While the pair have a close head-to-head, this will be their first meeting on grass. In all likelihood, Rybakina is the favorite to win the match.
