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&rsquo;s power and experience will prevail in the crucial moments.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Elena Rybakina in three sets.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elena
