Aryna Sabalenka is a short priced favourite here but has never beaten Elena Rybakina in straight sets. Rybakina can win a set, but Sabalenka's superior fitness should prove the difference at the WTA Finals.

Elena Rybakina Form

Elena Rybakina had a strong start to the year, winning titles in Brisbane and Abu Dhabi before losing finals in Doha and Miami. She started the clay court swing by winning the Stuttgart Open.

That was as good as it got on the slower courts, a quarter-final exit at the French Open followed by a 3 sets defeat to Barbora Krejcikova in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

The Kazakh didn’t compete at the Paris Olympics due to bronchitis and withdrew from the US Open, her last appearance. She has appointed Goran Ivanisevic as her coach from next season, the Croatian replacing Stefano Vukov.

Rybakina suffered a 7-6 6-4 defeat to Jasmine Paolini in her opening match at the WTA Finals. She improved in her second match, a 7-6 3-6 6-1 loss against Qinwen Zheng after fading in the deciding set.

Verdict

Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina

Aryna Sabalenka has won in 3 sets in all six victories against Elena Rybakina. I am backing the trend to continue at the WTA Finals.
