Rybakina - Jovic: betting tip for the Australian Open match
At the Australian Open, Elena Rybakina started with a crushing victory over Jones. In the second round on January 16, the world seventh racket will play against the far from formidable Iva Jovic. Should we expect a crushing defeat from the favorite today? - the answer is in our betting tip. What bets should you choose for the game?
Command Analysis
Elena Rybakina
KazakhstanCurrent form
On the eve of the start in Melbourne, Rybakina successfully played at the United Cup, where she won three out of four matches. Elena suffered her only defeat at that time from Iga Swiatek (6-7, 4-6). At the Australian Open, she faced Emerson Jones, who was noticeably inferior in class, in the first round. The seventh racket of the world had no problems in that match (6-1, 6-1).
Professional qualities
Elena plays from a position of strength, relying on a powerful serve and flat, strong shots. At the same time, she is able to work consistently on the back line, and her reception is also fine.
Current indicators in the tour
Rybakina is currently the world seventh-ranked tennis player. She showed her best result in Melbourne in 2023, when she reached the final. Last season, Elena suffered a sensational defeat in the second round from Anna Blinkova on local courts.
Interesting facts for betting
- Rybakina has won all four of her victories this season with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
- In four of the five matches played since the beginning of the year with Rybakina participation, more than nine games were not played in the second set
Iva Jovic
USACurrent form
Jovic is a young American tennis player who is making significant progress on the tour. This year, Iva did not play a single official match before the Australian Open. However, in the first round, she defeated the experienced Spaniard Nuria Parrizas-Diaz (6-2, 6-1). It should be noted that in Melbourne, she is playing at the adult level for the first time in her career.
Professional qualities
Iva tries to play in an aggressive manner, constantly attacking. This approach brings her success in matches against not the strongest opponents. It is difficult to predict how much she will be able to show herself at a completely different level against a tennis player from the top 10.
Current indicators in the tour
Jovic won 29 of 39 matches on tour last season and is currently ranked 191st in the world. She is most comfortable on hard courts, where she won 20 matches in 2024.
Interesting facts for betting
- Jovic previous five matches have featured a minimum number of sets

1.97Tip and bets
Undoubtedly, Jovic is a promising tennis player, who has made significant progress at the adult level. However, she is unlikely to be ready to play on equal terms with a top-10 representative, as she will face a completely different pace and punching power here. Rybakina crushed Jones in the first round, giving her only two games in the game. We expect the same scenario to develop on the court today.
Our prediction is a victory for Rybakina with a handicap of (-6.5) games with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on total
We don't expect any intrigue today, given the huge difference in class and experience. We expect that in the second round, as at the start, Rybakina will achieve a crushing victory.
The second bet is total under 17.5 games for 2.11
Bet on the second set
In two of the three previous matches, Rybakina gave up one game to her opponents in the second set. We expect in the betting tip that this time she will confidently finish off Jovic in this game segment.
Betting Tip - total games in the second set under 8.5 with odds of 1.98
