Rybakina - Boulter: betting tip for the WTA Indian Wells match
Elena Rybakina won at Indian Wells in 2023, but she did not play here last season. This time, the representative of Kazakhstan is clearly betting on achieving the highest result on local courts. Will Katie Boulter be able to thwart her rival's plans on March 9? - the answer is in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Elena Rybakina

Current form
Rybakina has been actively playing since the beginning of the year, but she has no titles yet. We managed to make it to the semifinals twice, and there was a quarterfinal in Doha. On the courts at Indian Wells, Elena started from the second round and defeated Lamens 6-3, 6-3 in class. It should be noted that a year ago she did not compete here, but in 2023 she won the title.
Professional qualities
Elena plays power tennis, shoots powerfully with both hands deep under the backline, and has a strong first serve in her arsenal. Perhaps, she just lacks the variability in the game.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Rybakina is the seventh racket of the world, and her best career achievement is third place. Since the beginning of the year, Elena has played 19 matches in the tour, of which 14 were victorious.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last four matches, Rybakina played three tie-breaks.
- In three of Elena's five previous matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.

Katie Boulter

Current form
Boulter made a big name for herself last year, but it's obviously not easy for her to keep the bar of a top-50 player at a distance now. At the Australian Open, the British tennis player lost in the second round to Veronika Kudermetova, after which she did not play anywhere on the tour. At the start in Indian Wells, Katie had some problems defeating the experienced Romanian Bega, and she noticeably improved in the reliability of the game during that meeting (6-7, 6-3, 6-0).
Professional qualities
Katie tends to dictate her terms on the court, playing in an attacking manner. When she's in shape, this kind of tennis brings her success. But you can see that if the British player's playing conditions are not all right, then she frankly fails fights, makes a huge number of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Boulter has played only six matches on the tour, in which she won four and suffered two defeats. She is currently ranked 38th in the ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- Boulter has played three sets in the last four matches.
- In three of the four previous matches involving Katie, tiebreakers were played.

4.10Tip and bets
Rybakina made a confident start at Indian Wells, but we did not see Lamence's complete defeat. It is hardly worth expecting that Boulter will be able to be dealt with quite easily. Katie is able to play boldly and aggressively, she got a good game practice the day before after a long break. We expect that with a difference of more than five games, the British woman will not lose today.
