Tikhonova A. - Noel M.

Montreal. Hard surface. Eighth-finals.

At the beginning of this year's Australian Open tournament, Rybakina defeated her opponent in two sets (6:3, 6:4). After Wimbledon, Elena has played five matches on hard surface: four wins and all of them - with a dry result.

Sometimes, Yastremska is able to surprise her opponents, but when Rybakina feels comfortable on hard court, like a fish in water, it is almost impossible to stop her.
The representative of Kazakhstan competed in Washington before this tournament, where she was defeated after 39 games by Fernandez, who later won the first place. Therefore, this time Rybakina is definitely determined to reach the finals. And wasting energy on third sets - is not rational.
