Verdict
Elena Rybakina has been on an upward trajectory since mid-last year and has produced some of her best tennis in that period. However, her level in recent weeks has been slightly below her usual standard.
That gives Aryna Sabalenka the edge in this clash, though it could still be a tight contest with Rybakina capable of taking at least one set.
