Elena Rybakina vs Belinda Bencic Prediction & Betting Tips - Abu Dhabi Open
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Defending champion Elena Rybakina is the only seed remaining in this year's Abu Dhabi Open. The top seed takes on wild card Belinda Bencic in the last four to decide who will meet either Linda Noskova or Ashlyn Krueger in the final. Here's our match prediction.
It's been a week of surprises in this outdoor hard court tournament with all the seeds bar Rybakina being beaten. The 25-year-old is seventh in the live rankings but will move up to sixth if beating Bencic.
To get to this semi-final, Rybakina has played two matches and both went to a final set. After being qualifier Katie Volynets, the defending champion beat Ons Jabeur in the last eight, needing a final set tie-break to get the victory.
These two players have had a couple of previous meetings and are 1-1. The most recent was four years ago with Bencic retiring in set two.
Belinda Bencic is making her way back up the rankings after time off-court due to injury. The Swiss player is up to 113th in the live list but ninth (three below Rybakina) in the Live Race.
So far in this tournament, the 27-year-old has beaten Rebecca Sramkova (in three sets) and then Veronika Kudermetova and Marketa Vondrousova without a set being dropped.
We tip over 20.5 games to be played.
