Elena Rybakina vs Jasmine Paolini Preview

 

Elena Rybakina is making her second successive appearance at the WTA Finals managing to comfortably finish in the top five of the Race to Riyadh. The former Wimbledon champion hasn't played since end of August when she beat Destanee Aiava at the US Open and ended up withdrawing from the tournament before her second-round match.

A lot has happened in Rybakina's season with health concerns being the primary reason why she hasn't played close to a full schedule. Rybakina has also parted company with longtime coach Stefano Vukov who has drawn plenty of flak from the tennis fraternity.

Rybakina's debut appearance at the season finale did not go as planned. She exited int he group stage at the 2024 Finals in Cancun, winning only one match.

Jasmine Paolini will be competing for the first time at the WTA Finals. the Italian has qualified for the year-end tournament in both singles and doubles after a stellar season brought her two Grand Slam finals and an Olympic gold medal in doubles.

Paolini has overtaken Rybakina in the rankings following the Kazakhstani's long absence. The 28-year-old has won one WTA title this year, which came in Dubai. It was that triumph that unearthed her true potential. Let's see what she is capable of doing in her first match at the WTA Finals.

 

Elena Rybakina vs Jasmine Paolini Head-To-Head

 

• Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini are tied at 2-2 in their head-to-head.

• They have also split their two meetings this season, with Rybakina winning a three setter in Stuttgart and Paolini winning by the same result at the French Open.

 

Elena Rybakina vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction

 

It's two months since Rybakina last struck a ball in a match. The tall Kazakhstani took an indefinite break from the sport to address some health issues. We still don't know exactly what has been troubling her and the rumors have intensified in the past month.

Her participation was in severe jeopardy until just weeks before the tournament when photos of her practice sessions hit the internet. Look, if Rybakina lets her tennis do the talking she'll be winning this match. She's far superior to Paolini especially in these conditions where she won't necessarily need to outrally the Italian. But you could probably wait and gauge her level and match sharpness for a few games in this match. Still, we are happy to back her at the pre-match odds on offer.
