In 2022, Tsurenko and Rybakina crossed paths in Eastbourne. The Ukrainian won in three sets. At the moment, the Wimbledon winner is not stable on the court and today Lesia may well put up a worthy resistance.
In their only head-to-head encounter, the rivals exchanged sets won. In the two matches of the tournament, Tsurenko has played more than 20 games.
Tsurenko defeated Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) in the first round.
In the next match, the Ukrainian had a mini-sensation, defeating Ekaterina Alexandrova (7:5, 7:6). Lesia was surprisingly good on serve.
At the US Open, Tsurenko lost straight away to Paula Badosa but managed to take one set from the Spaniard.
The second half of the season is turning out to be quite successful for Tsurenko. In June, she reached the quarter-finals in Birmingham and won two matches at Wimbledon before reaching the quarter-finals in Budapest in July.
Tsurenko has four wins in her last five meetings at the WTA 250 level.
Rybakina, as expected, stalled a little after her sensational win at Wimbledon.
The only exception was the tournament in Cincinnati, where Elena reached the quarterfinals. At other tournaments, the tennis player from Kazakhstan performed much worse.
At the US Open, Rybakina lost immediately to France’s Clara Burel (4-6, 4-6).
In Portorož, the 23-year-old tennis player started with a strong win over Laura Siegemund (6-7, 6-4, 7-6). Elena took the deciding set only on the tie-break. However, next up was a confident win over Tereza Martincová (6-4, 6-1).
Six of Rybakina’s last seven hard court matches have ended in two sets.
In Rybakina’s last three matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 2.26.
