Tip and bets
Both players were unsuccessful in recent indoor tournaments. Keys rarely performs in European indoor competitions and it is unclear, why she decided to participate at Tallinn and Ostrava tournaments. Rybakina surely wants to avenge Keys for two recent defeats in head-to-head matches, especially the one at Roland Garros, where Rybakina lost the decisive tiebreak. In our opinion, Elena will be more motivated for the upcoming fixture.
Our prediction - Rybakina to win the match
One week ago, Keys failed to put up a fight to Golubic, winning just five games. With such a weak performance, she poses no threat to Rybakina.
Our second bet is on total under 22 games
