Elena Rybakina vs Paula Badosa Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Dubai Tennis Championships
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Two seeds meet in the last 16 of the outdoor hard court Dubai Tennis Championships. Sixth seed Elena Rybakina is up against Paula Badosa who is seeded ninth. Can Badosa cause a seeding upset? Here's our match prediction.
Elena Rybakina is seventh in the live rankings but a place higher in the seedings due to the absence of Madison Keys. In the Live WTA Race, the 25-year-old is in ninth position and has won 11 of her 15 matches this year.
Her best 2025 performance has been a semi-final in Abu Dhabi with one other quarter-final reached. Rybakina trails Badosa 4-3 in previous meetings but leads 2-1 in outdoor hard court matches. So far this week, Rybakina has beaten qualifier Moyuku Ichijima for the loss of only five games
Paula Badosa is the world number ten but up a place in the live rankings. The Spaniard is fifth in the WTA Live Race mainly due to reaching the Australian Open semi-finals. This is her third tournament since then and the first time she's made it past round two.
In Dubai this week, Badosa has beaten unseeded pair Lulu Sun and Elise Mertens for the loss of ten games.
We tip Rybakina to win this match.
