“Rybakina still plays a little better, she has a good chance to beat Sobolenko” – Olkhovsky
Well-known Soviet and Russian tennis player Andrey Olkhovsky assessed the chances of Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina to win the Australian Open final.
For the trophy, a native of Moscow will compete with Arina Sobolenko from Belarus.
– I think that we will have good tennis. It is difficult to single out a favorite, both play at a good level. Rybakina won Wimbledon, but it was on grass, but here it was hard. Will this experience help her? I don’t think that experience will help, because both tennis players are very experienced. On the back line, both play well. Elena still plays a little better, she has a good chance to beat Sobolenko. Rybakina delivers more confidently. For Arina, if the serve may not go well, then doubles are possible there. Rybakin is more stable in this component, – Olkhovsky is quoted by RB Sport.
Previously, 23-year-old Rybakina, the winner of Wimbledon 2022, did not go beyond the third round at the Australian Grand Slam tournament.
