Command Analysis
Elena Rybakina
KazakhstanCurrent form
Rybakina, on the whole, is having a good season, but she hasn't had any really serious successes. Elena's best result so far is the semi–finals in Abu Dhabi. In Dubai, she started immediately from the second round and had no problems with Uchijima, who was comfortable to play against, as the Japanese woman does not have a powerful serve in her arsenal (6-3, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Elena plays power tennis, her physical abilities allow her to shoot powerfully from the back line, using the potential of the forehand. Plus, she has a strong first serve, which she uses to score a lot of easy points on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Rybakina played 15 matches in the tour, in which she won 11 victories and suffered four defeats. At the moment, Elena is the seventh racket of the world.

Paula Badosa
SpainCurrent form
Badosa showed her best result since the beginning of the year at the Australian Open, where she made it to the semifinals.

Nevertheless, Paula already has two wins on the local courts, and very confident ones, over Sun (6-3, 6-4) and Mertens (6-2, 6-1).
Professional qualities

Badosa is not experiencing any health problems right now and is demonstrating an impressive game. In the second round, the Spaniard left no chance for Mertens, and she is unlikely to give the match to Rybakina, whom she beat in four of seven personal meetings, without a fight. Paula is able to work reliably on her serve and at least keep a positive head start in games.
