In the 4th round of Roland Garros, Serena Williams met with Elena Rybakina. Yes, Serena is in the TOP 10. It is now on the 8th line of the rating. But she cannot show the tennis that is inherent in her. In the first 3 matches, she outplayed I. Begu (7 - 6 and 6 - 2), Buzernescu (6 - 3, 5 - 7 and 6 - 1) and Collins (6 - 4 and 6 - 4). In the first three matches, Rybakina did not give her rivals a single set. She outplayed Jacquemo (6 - 4 and 6 - 1), Khibino (6 - 3 and 6 - 1) and E. Vesnina (6 - 1 and 6 - 4). Now the Kazakhstani tennis player is on the 22nd place in the World ranking.
Yes, Bookmakers prefer the American woman. We bet on her victory with odds: 1.59. For Rybakina's victory odds: 2.68. But it is far from the fact that Serena will be able to cope with Elena, who has gained shape. Some forecasters believe that you can try to bet on an outsider to win.
