Elena Rybakina vs Katerina Siniakova prediction

Rybakina has a 74 percent win rate on grass, which is her best surface. Her biggest career achievement to date came on this surface, when she won the 2022 Wimbledon with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 win against Ons Jabeur in the final.

Siniakova has a 53 percent win rate on grass, having reached two finals on the surface. Both are finals that came at the Bad Homburg Open in 2021 and 2023. While she lost the 2021 final 3-6, 2-6 against Angelique Kerber, she won the title in 2023 with a 6-2, 7-6 (5) victory over Lucia Bronzetti in the final.

Given their 2025 form and the match being on grass, Rybakina is the undisputed favorite to win the upcoming match.

But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
