Jasmine Paolini vs Elena Rybakina Prediction: Kazakh Favored Over The Italian

• Prediction: Jasmine Paolini +3.5 Games
• Best Odds: -111
• Bookmaker: Unibet
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated 7:00 am UK Time on November 2, 2024. 

The match between Sabalenka and Zheng is a must-see because those two simply hate each other to no end! While the World’s #1 is a -275 favorite against Zheng, Rybakina comes into the WTA Finals with odds at -225 to find a win over Paolini today.

Bet365 offers +175 on the Italian to upset Rybakina but I am not letting those +3.5 games go unnoticed. Rybakina hasn’t seen a tennis court since August 27th at the U.S. Open and the Kazakh had to skip the entirety of the Asian swing to recover in time to play in the WTA Finals.

What are we getting from the 5-seed who’s been out of action for over two months? We’ll find out soon enough but Paolini is probably thrilled to land Rybakina after taking the Kazakh out of the French Open in June.

Rybakina was in great form during that event and we all know that Jasmine ran her way to the Wimbledon and French Open finals this season. 

The one person we’re not concerned about is the psycho of Paolini entering Saudi Arabia although the Italian native hasn’t played much tennis lately. Paolini only played in two events during the Asian swing and didn’t look impressive.

Paolini will cover the handicap and give Rybakina all she can handle!

JASMINE PAOLINI RECENT FORM

Paolini finished the season with a 7 – 4 record completing the North American and Asian swings.

Jasmine recorded a 19 – 11 record on hard courts this season and has produced a winning record on all three surfaces in 2024. With one tournament win in Dubai, Paolini is 39 – 18 this season and will complete a fourth straight campaign with a winning record.

ELENA RYBAKINA RECENT FORM

Elena Rybakina has won three tournament titles in 2024 and is 41 – 19 this season.

Rybakina only competed in two events during the North American swing and went 1 – 1 before withdrawing from the US Open.

The Kazakh native has guaranteed herself a sixth consecutive campaign with a winning record on every surface and an eighth straight season within the positive.

PAOLINI VS RYBAKINA H2H –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Paolini and Rybakina have officially met four times on the WTA Tour but the Kazakh native is 2 – 1 against her Italian counterpart.

They were scheduled to face each other in Dubai at a February event that Paolini hoisted the hardware but Rybakina had to withdraw.

Rybakina won the first encounter in Rome last season and in Cincinnati Paolini was the one unable to finish the match from their second meeting in 2023.

Rybakina defeated Paolini in Stuttgart in April and Paolini returned the favor at the French Open in June.
