Coming into the semifinals, Rybakina represents Kazakhstan with a strong form of 6 wins and 2 losses. The latest victory over Ons Jabeur in three sets, where she managed to win 2-1, underlines her ability for skills in high-pressure situations: 6-2, 4-6, 7-6. Statistically, she has had an average first-serve efficiency at 55% and grit by saving 40% of break points. While her serving metrics and break-point conversion-4 converted-indicate leeway for improvement, experience in tight situations and her mental toughness will make her a formidable contender on this big stage.
Belinda Bencic
Coming into the match, Swiss Bencic has a very strong record of 8-2. In her recent victory against Marketa Vondrousova 2-0, after being down in the first set 5-7, her comeback to 6-3 was very well managed. Also, with 63% on the first serve and an outstanding 50% break point save rate, it looks like Bencic was more efficient on serve. Moreover, she appears to be the more aggressive player with higher break point conversion, having converted 7, and the positive momentum of streaks of 3 games and 5 sets won creates a belief that she could take advantage of her serving strength and consistency to win.
