Command Analysis

Leylah Fernandez

Current form
Fernandez managed to get to the second round in Cincinnati for the first time in her career. Before this year, she had been eliminated on local courts either in the qualification or in the first round. At the start, Leila had a hard time breaking Yuan Yue's resistance (3-6, 6-4, 6-3). As for the game, we should note a good indicator of points scored on her serve - 60%. However, she was unable to play the entire match stably and evenly.
Professional qualities
Fernandez does not have any obvious standout element in her game. It should be noted that she is able to maintain a high tempo when exchanging blows, and has a good left-handed forehand. At the same time, her height is only 160 cm, so it is difficult in confrontations with tennis players who play power tennis.
Current indicators in the tour
Fernandez has only had one truly successful tournament this season. On grass in Eastbourne, she made it to the final, largely unexpectedly. On hard, Leila demonstrated her best result back in February, when she managed to make it to the quarterfinals in Doha. It should be noted that it was Rybakina who stopped her at that competition (4-6, 2-6).
Interesting facts for betting
Fernandez has played three sets in two of her previous three matches

Elena Rybakina

Current form
Rybakina played her last match of the tour at Wimbledon, where she lost to Krejcikova in the semifinals. Elena planned to play at the Olympics and in Toronto, but was forced to miss these competitions due to acute bronchitis. It is difficult to judge unequivocally in betting tips and when choosing bets how ready she is to fully show herself in Cincinnati, where she must defend the points for last year's exit to the 1/8 finals.
Professional qualities
Rybakina has one of the best serves on the tour. It should also be noted that she loves and knows how to play as the first number, attacks, tries to hit the rising ball powerfully. It is due to this that she often compensates for a large number of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour

2.25Tip and bets
Rybakina was in no hurry to go out on the court, trying to completely cure her bronchitis. Elena will obviously try to play to the maximum today, because too much has been lost. Due to her powerful tennis, solid blows, she is able to confidently deal with Fernandez, as she did this year in Abu Dhabi.
Our prediction is a victory for Rybakina with a handicap of (-3.5) games for a coefficient of 1.76
