Elena Rybakina and Elina Svitolina will meet in the Round of 32 at the Mutua Madrid Open on Sunday evening, with the match scheduled for 8:00 PM on Manolo Santana Stadium.
Rybakina leads their head-to-head 3-2 and has dominated the recent encounters, defeating Svitolina in straight sets both at Wimbledon and the French Open last year. The bookies slightly favor Rybakina with a 54% win probability, reflecting her recent success in this matchup.
Coming into this match, Rybakina has been a bit inconsistent, but she delivered a strong performance against Bianca Andreescu in her Madrid opener. Meanwhile, Svitolina is in red-hot form, riding a six-match winning streak and fresh off a title run in Rouen. Her confidence is high, but Rybakina’s powerful game has troubled her before, especially on faster surfaces.
With both players looking sharp and motivated, this promises to be Sunday’s WTA Match of the Day in Madrid.
