Match Predict – Handicap (-2.5) for Rybakina
Rybakina defeated Azarenka (6-3, 6-4) on the hard court in Indian Wells last season. In Melbourne, Elena has clearly reached the peak of her form, acting very reliably on her serve, going through a difficult tournament net, and knocking out the world #1. Victoria, of course, also impresses with her results, but she does not have a stable serve. Perhaps, it is this component, in our opinion, that will be decisive today.
Total Games Under 23
In only one of the five matches played in Melbourne did Rybakina play three sets. In their only head-to-head encounter, the opponents played only 19 games. We’re counting on the prediction that there won’t be a prolonged match today.

Victoria Azarenka:
Azarenka, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open for the third time in her career and the first time since 2013. On two previous occasions, she took the title in Melbourne.
On Tuesday, Victoria defeated Jessica Pegula (6-4, 6-1) with surprising ease. Jessica proved unprepared for such a game, primarily psychologically.
The Belarusian continually forced her opponent to make mistakes on her serve, thanks to which she converted five break points.
In the fourth round, Azarenka earned a strong win over Zhu Lin (4-6, 6-1, 6-4) and before that, she managed to defeat Sofia Kenin (6-4, 7-6), Nadia Podorosca (6-1, 6-0) and Madison Keys (1-6, 6-2, 6-1).
In three of Victoria’s last five hard-court matches, more than 20 games have been played.
