3.60Tip and bets
Rybakina is playing too unstable now to be able to offer a bold bet on her confident victory. For four matches in a row, Elena played three sets with her rivals, and she often lost her concentration. Stearns is a very unyielding tennis player, rarely leaves the court without a fight, and has already played out on local courts. We believe that we will not see a crushing victory in the performance of the favorite.
