Ashlyn Krueger Overview

Ashlyn Krueger Form

Ashlyn Krueger has gained notable ground over the past year, breaking into the top 40 and delivering some consistent performances in major tournaments.

She backed up her third-round showings in Toronto, the US Open, and Beijing from last year with a final in Abu Dhabi and quarterfinals in Brisbane and Adelaide.

Krueger came to Miami with a 0-3 record at the tournament. However, given her breakthrough performances of late, it was never in doubt that she would defeat Renata Zarazua in straight sets.

She has yet to crack the code against elite players and has never won a set in any of her six meetings with top-10 opponents. It is sure she will be the underdog in this match.

Elena Rybakina Overview

Current rank: 8
Career high rank: 3
ELO rank: 7
Season record: 15-6
Best tournament result: Finals in 2023 and 2024
Career Miami record: 12-4

Elena Rybakina Form

Elena Rybakina has had a steady season so far, reaching the fourth round at the Australian Open and at least the quarterfinals in all three Middle-East tournaments.

This is exactly the sort of results that she would have wanted after the disastrous ending to 2024 when she won only three matches in the second half of the season.

However, it does not mean she has put herself in title-winning position once again, as evident by her quick loss to Mirra Andreeva in Indian Wells this month.

She was terribly disappointed to have ended her eight-match winning streak in Indian Wells.

In any case, Rybakina is expected to fly past in the early rounds of Miami, where she has never lost before the third round and has been its finalist in the last two editions.

Verdict

Ashlyn Krueger v Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina has had a strong start to the season, winning 15 of 21 matches and regularly reaching the latter stages of events.

She enters Miami in solid form and is expected to be too strong for Ashlyn Krueger, who has yet to defeat a top-10 opponent.

Rybakina 2-0
