Elena Rybakina vs Dayana Yastremska WTA Ningbo Open 2025 Prediction

The Ningbo Open is a competition where players can trust the bounce and hit through the line. Rybakina is someone who thrives when she has time on the ball. As a result, Yastremska will have to keep the No. 3 seed on her toes by taking the ball early and mixing her game up. When two players who love dictating play from the baseline come face-to-face, there is very little margin for error. We believe Rybakina’s power and experience will prevail in the crucial moments.

Prediction: Elena Rybakina in three sets.
