Command Analysis

Ashlyn Krueger

Current form
In early February, Kruger performed well in Abu Dhabi, where he managed to make it to the finals. Bencic did not allow her to win the title then. In the future, the American could not maintain such a high level for herself, she did not overcome more than one round in the next three tournaments. In Miami, Ashlyn kicked off with an expected victory over Sarasua (6-3, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Kruger is more prone to long-term draws on the back line, knows how to keep the ball for a long time and wait for opponents to make mistakes. The American is not impressive on her serve and is unlikely to surprise Rybakina today, in general, her tennis is quite predictable.

However, she could not win the title, she lost in the decisive matches between Kvitova and Collins.

2.21Tip and bets
It is important for Rybakina in Miami to protect her points from last year's final, as there is a risk of losing her place in the top 10 in the near future. Elena doesn't have the most difficult opponent at the start, first of all, given the way she plays. Kruger can hardly match her opponent's powerful punches, plus she doesn't have a strong first serve in her arsenal. We believe that the favorite in this pair will have no problems.
