Mirra Andreeva vs Elina Svitolina Prediction

Here's a little fun fact. All three of Andreeva's defeats this season have been to players with a surname that begins with an S (Sabalenka twice and Sramkova). But here's the more relevant stat. Svitolina has a near-perfect record against Russian players since January 2022 (8-1). The only stain coming more recently against Anna Blinkova in Linz. It's a match that gets Svitolina pumped up and she always raises her level. But Andreeva is coming off a series of spectacular results, beating Rybakina twice on hard courts, and Swiatek, that it's difficult to entertain an upset. I expect the joyride to continue for this incredible talent.
