Grееt Minnen vs Elena Rybakina prediction and betting tips - May 28, 2024
Grееt Minnen
Elena Rybakina
In the first round of Roland Garros, a match between Belgian Greet Minnen and Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina will take place. The match will be held in Paris on Tuesday, May 28, with the game scheduled to start at 12:00 PM Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided a prediction for this match.
Greet Minnen
Minnen is clearly not having her best season, especially regarding her performances on clay. The Belgian has participated in five tournaments since the beginning of April, but even considering her low ranking, these performances cannot be called successful.
Greet has not defeated players from the top 100 of the world rankings for quite some time, and her readiness for the French Open raises several doubts. In the first round, she faces a top opponent and will likely leave Paris after the opening match.
Elena Rybakina
Rybakina is having a good season, and her career has been on an upward trajectory in recent years. In 2022, she unexpectedly won Wimbledon, and last year she reached the final of the Australian Open.
In preparation for Roland Garros, Elena played in only two clay tournaments, winning one of them. She is certainly looking to improve her personal best result in Paris, which is the quarterfinal in 2021.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
- Minnen has lost her last four matches.
- Rybakina has lost only one of her last nine matches.
- The players met twice in 2020, with Rybakina winning both encounters.
Greet Minnen vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Bookmakers have little faith in the Belgian and predict an easy victory for Rybakina. This is understandable, but I think Minnen is capable of winning a few games per set. My bet is on a total over 16.5 games.
