Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina prediction Swiatek has started well after a disappointing set of results in the last few weeks. She was expected to do well after winning in Seoul, but hasn't been able to find her clinical form. The Pole will be eager to close the gap in the WTA Rankings and do well in Riyadh. Rybakina, on the contrary, deserves credit for making the WTA Finals this year. She's looked sharp in the last few months and caught Anisimova completely off guard in the first round. The Kazakh is one of the best servers on tour and likes to play an offensive brand of tennis. Swiatek might be a favorite on paper, but Rybakina has a great chance to win this round. She's been building up steam in the last weeks, and this may be her time to get one over the Pole. Pick: Rybakina to win in straight sets. Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina betting tips Tip 1: Match to have fewer than 20 games. Tip 2: Rybakina to register more than five aces.
