Command Analysis

Elena Rybakina

Current form
Rybakina had a good game practice last week in Abu Dhabi, where she scored a semi-final. She played all three matches at that tournament in three sets. In Doha, Elena is already more confident in the tournament bracket, with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets, she defeated Stearns (6-2, 6-4) and Shramkova (7-6, 6-2). There is a match ahead against Schwentek, with whom they played in the final on local courts a year ago. The representative of Poland won then with a score of 7-6, 6-2.
Professional qualities
Rybakina has good anthropometric data, which allows her to take full advantage of a powerful serve, seize the initiative in draws, completing quick combinations in one or two strokes. At the same time, on the back line, she is quite capable of reliably practicing and keeping a high pace.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Rybakina has played 13 matches in the tour, in which she won 10 and suffered three defeats. She showed her best result on the courts in Abu Dhabi, where she made it to the semifinals.
Interesting facts for betting
- In four of the last six matches, Rybakina played in three sets.
- In three of Rybakina's previous five matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.

Iga Swiatek

Current form
Schwentek is betting on winning the title in Doha for the fourth time in a row. So far, everything is going well for the Polish tennis player. At the start, she confidently "closed out" Sakkari in two sets (6-3, 6-2). Next, Iga defeated Noskova in a difficult battle (6-7, 6-4, 6-4). It should be noted that at the moment, Schwentek's winning streak on the courts in Doha has reached 14 matches.
Professional qualities
Iga is notable for his versatility on the court, can play in an aggressive manner, and make full use of his powerful forehand. However, she is stable on the back line, feels the game well, and knows how to cover the entire court.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Schwentek managed to play 13 matches in the tour, in which she won 11 victories. In January, she defeated her current opponent Rybakina in the Unified Cup team tournament with a score of 7-6, 6-4.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of the last three matches involving Schwentek, tie-breaks were played.
- Schwentek won 14 matches in a row on the courts in Doha, and gave up only two sets to her rivals.
Trends
The Totalbetis more than 2.5 sets
In two of the last four face-to-face matches, the tennis players played three sets each.
2.49Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
This is the scenario that unfolded in four of Rybakina's five previous matches.
2.21Tip and bets
In our opinion, the bookmakers are somewhat underestimating Rybakina in this quarterfinal. Over the course of the season, Elena is improving in the reliability of her game, has adapted to the local surface, and her first serve is flying well. Schwentek experienced serious problems with Noskova, barely breaking her resistance. There was a tight fight in this year's face-to-face match in Australia, which we are waiting for today.
Our forecast is that Rybakina will win with a handicap of (+4) games with a coefficient of 1.68
Bet on the total
Face-to-face matches between tennis players regularly take place in a tight struggle and are played most often through the "top" of the total. So, in the four previous face-to-face meetings, at least 21 games were played, which we are waiting for today.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games in 1.78
Tiebreak bet
Both tennis players have a powerful serve, are able to confidently take games on their serve, and it is no coincidence that they have played tie-breaks in two of the last three personal meetings. We do not exclude that this time they will play the maximum number of games in one of the sets.
Prediction – tie-break in the match – yes with a coefficient of 3.15
