Rybakina has experience of beating Tomljanovic. A year ago in Madrid, she confidently defeated Ajla (6-4, 6-0). Now it is noticeable that Elena has improved from match to match, irrespective of her opponents.
Rybakina has beaten all her opponents at the tournament in two sets. In each match, at least 21 games were played.
For the second year in a row, Ajla Tomljanovic has reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. For the 44th-ranked player in the world, this is a decent achievement. Remember, in 2022 she was stopped at this stage by Ashleigh Barty (1-6, 3-6).
This time, Ajla had two very confident matches against Jil Teichmann (6-2, 6-3) and Catherine Harrison (6-2, 6-2). In the third round, she faced her first big challenge. There was a match against Barbora Krejcikova (2-6, 6-4, 6-3). A similar scenario was seen in her match against Cornet (4-6, 6-4, 6-3).
Tomljanovic has won eight of her last nine meetings at Wimbledon.
Elena Rybakina was able to improve on last year’s result in London. In 2021, she reached the 1/8 finals where she couldn’t get through to Aryna Sabalenka (3-6, 6-4, 3-6).
This time, Rybakina advanced to the quarterfinals without losing a single set to her opponents. Not that all her victories were easy. In three out of four contests, she had to play tie-breaks. At the 1/8 finals stage, Elena got past Petra Martic (7-5, 6-3). In that game, she gave up her serve only twice.
On her way to the semifinals, she also defeated CoCo Vandeweghe (7-6, 7-5) and Bianca Andreescu (6-4, 7-6).
In 4 of Rybakina’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 1.87.
