Command Analysis
Elena Rybakina
KazakhstanCurrent form
A year ago, Rybakina lost her racket in the quarterfinals in Dubai. This time, Elena has improved her result from last year, but she certainly does not plan to rest on her laurels and is betting on winning the title. It cannot be said that the representative of Kazakhstan confidently and without problems reached the semifinals. The opening match against Uchijima (6-3, 6-2) was the easiest for her. Next, Elena broke Badosa's resistance only in tiebreaks (4-6, 7-6, 7-6). There was also a tie-break in the 1/4 finals with Kenin, although in general Rybakina led the game in that meeting (6-2, 7-6).
Professional qualities
Elena relies on powerful backhands and a strong first serve in her game. With Kenin, for example, she completed 17 aces in two sets and won 77% of the points on the first serve.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Rybakina played 17 matches, in which she scored 13 victories. At the same time, Elena never made it past the semifinals. She is currently ranked seventh in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the previous two matches, Rybakina played three tie-breaks.
- In three of Rybakina's last four matches, more than ten games were played in the second game.
Mirra Andreeva
Russian FederationCurrent form
A week ago in Doha, Andreeva was not impressed by anything, she lost in the second round to Shramkova. There were fears in the forecasts that Mirra would not be able to demonstrate anything in Dubai either, but she holds an excellent tournament and literally does not notice her rivals on her way. The young tennis player scored all four victories with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets. We should also mention the successful fights with Vondroushova (7-5, 6-0) and Schwentek (6-3, 6-3). With the Yoke, the Russian impressed with her bold and aggressive game, completed 10 aces per match, and took the second racket of the world four times.
Professional qualities
Mirra moves perfectly on the court, she has precise footwork, which allows her to approach the balls in a comfortable position and shoot powerfully, using the potential of her backhand. Plus, Andreeva has a solid pitch, which she is constantly working on.
Current indicators in the tour
Andreeva played 14 matches in the round this year, in which she won 11 and suffered three defeats. Mirra is currently the 14th racket in the world, but she will clearly improve her record after the conclusion of the Dubai tournament, regardless of whether she makes it to the finals or not.
Interesting facts for betting
- Andreeva scored all four wins in Dubai on the way to the semifinals with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets.
- In five consecutive matches with Andreeva's participation, more than nine games were not played in the second game.

3.00Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
According to this scenario, events unfolded in three of the last five fights of Rybakina.
2.21Tip and bets
The bookmakers do not single out a favorite in this semi-final. Meanwhile, Andreeva is playing more confidently here and now. A convincing quarterfinal victory over Schwentek made it clear that Mirra is ready to fight at the highest level, can impose her tennis, seize the initiative and dictate her terms on the court. Elena missed the initiative more than once during the tournament, barely passed the same Badosa. We believe that Andreeva has a better chance of reaching the finals.
Our forecast is Andreeva's victory with a coefficient of 1.96
Bet on the total
Rybakina has a powerful serve, it is not so easy to make breaks in confrontations with Elena, it is no coincidence that she has already played three tie-breaks in Dubai. At the same time, Andreeva is fine with her serve. There is a high probability that the game will be protracted.
The second bet is a total of more than 22 games for 1.92
Bet on the second set
In three of Rybakina's four previous matches, more than ten games were played in the second game. We do not exclude that today it is in this segment of the game that the most intense struggle will unfold.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 3.50
