Elena Rybakina vs Magda Linette prediction
Elena Rybakina is one win away from reaching her third semifinal this year. The Kazakh will undoubtedly be the favorite to win in Strasbourg, but has also looked vulnerable on clay. She will be eager to open her account this week and enter the French Open on a high.
On the other hand, Magda Linette has chipped in with valuable results this season. She won 70% of her first serve points in the last round and is one of the dark horses in Strasbourg. The Pole is known for her defensive skills on the court.
Considering their results this year and record on clay, Rybakina will be a slight favorite to come out on top. She should be able to use her potent all-around game and eliminate Linette in the last eight.
Pick: Rybakina to win in straight sets.
