Head-to-head statistics Sabalenka - Rakhimova
Aryna Sabalenka Player Overview
Sabalenka is in top form, and there's no need to dwell on her early exit in the Rome quarterfinals. Aryna has taken on a heavy schedule, choosing to compete in nearly every major tournament leading up to the French Open. While her physical capabilities generally support this, fatigue can still set in. It affected her performance, preventing her from maintaining a consistent level across numerous matches. However, this break might have been a blessing in disguise for the Belarusian. She's had time to rest and regain her form ahead of Roland Garros, where she's viewed as a leading contender for the title.
Match Results: Aryna Sabalenka
Kamilla Rakhimova Player Overview
Rakhimova has struggled to make her mark at any clay-court tournament. Even at Challenger events, she has yet to reach a final, despite having the capability to do so. The Russian isn't prepared for Roland Garros, nor is she ready for clay play or facing Aryna Sabalenka. Two years ago, Sabalenka ousted Rakhimova in the Roland Garros Round of 32, wrapping up the match in just an hour. Since then, little has changed, and Sabalenka remains the favorite.

Editor's Prediction
The disparity in skill and preparation doesn't necessarily mean Sabalenka will breeze through with a double bagel and head for a break. Rakhimova has the potential to show her mettle and claim at least four games for herself, ensuring we won't see any sets ending in zeroes. Our pick for this match is total match games over 15.5.No comments
