Prediction
On Thursday, 30th-seed, Victoria Azarenka will play 22nd-seeded Elena Rybakina in the Australian Open semifinals.
Before meeting Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals and beating her 6-4, 6-1, Azarenka overthrew players such as Sofia Kenin followed by Nadia Podoroska and Madison Keys.
On the other hand, Elena Rybakina started her journey with Elisabetta Cocciaretto followed by Kaja Juvan, Danielle Collins and then World No. 1 Iga Swiatek, the biggest upset of the tournament before meeting Jelena Ostapenko at the Quarterfinals where she beat her 6-2, 6-4.
Due to her previous victories over Swiatek and Ostapenko, Rybakina may be considered the match’s favourite given her strong recent success. However, Azarenka’s self-assurance will increase after she defeated Pegula, not to mention her skill and mindset.
Here, at the tournament in Melbourne, Rybakina has served the most aces with 29, more than any other woman. To gain as many unearned points as possible, she will try to maximise the use of her strong serve. The Kazakhs play in a highly aggressive manner.
While on the other hand, for Azarenka, even though she has a powerful hitter, she plays with restrained aggression and does a great job of building her points. But not to forget, throughout the competition, the Belarusian has made 107 unforced errors in addition to 99 winners.
Azarenka will have to fight with the appropriate combination of defence and offence if she wants to defeat Rybakina.
