Elena Rybakina vs. Marta Kostyuk Prediction, Odds, Best Bets & How to Watch
Third seed Elena Rybakina faces 27th seed Marta Kostyuk in the third round of the Miami Open. Both players advanced comfortably after first-round byes. Rybakina dismissed Yulia Putintseva in straight sets, while Kostyuk did the same against Kamilla Rakhimova.
Rybakina’s run is built around serve dominance and first-strike tennis. A 74.5% first-serve points won rate paired with 476 aces across 90 matches highlights her ability to control service games. More importantly, her 43.1% return point win shows she’s applying consistent pressure. Her recent form supports that baseline with being an Australian Open champion, an Indian Wells finalist, and a steady deep runner across hard-court events.
Kostyuk presents a different statistical shape. Her 44.7% return points won actually edges Rybakina, and her 44.5% break-point conversion suggests she capitalizes efficiently. However, her 66.3% first-serve points won create vulnerability under pressure.
For today’s tennis picks, here’s how we’re betting on Elena Rybakina vs. Marta Kostyuk today, including our Best Bet, supporting angles, and a set-score prop for bigger prices.

Our Pick: Over 20.5 Total Games (-122, FanDuel)
The market prices Rybakina as a clear but not overwhelming favorite. At -400, the implied probability sits around 80%, but the spread and totals markets suggest resistance rather than a clean blowout. That aligns with Kostyuk’s return stats.
The Over 20.5 games (-122) is the most efficient angle because it captures multiple realistic match scripts. Rybakina can win in straights and still push this over. Kostyuk’s return strength increases the probability of extended games and tighter sets, even if she doesn’t convert that into a set win.
Elena Rybakina Leads 4-1 in her head-to-head against Marta Kostyuk, with the most recent win being in Indian Wells via straight sets.
