Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina: Elena Rybakina to win the match (+130)
Odds available at Pinnacle at time of publishing
Aryna Sabalenka faces Elena Rybakina at US Open on Saturday 12 September 2026. They are playing on a hard court. This is a match winner bet, so it lands if Elena Rybakina wins the match. It was priced at +130 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $23 if it lands. Our model leans this way without loving it. Rybakina's recent form is strong, with a win rate of 80% over her last 10 matches, indicating consistency. In contrast, Sabalenka's serve metrics are concerning; she has not performed well on her serve recently, with average first serve percentage and points won being zero, highlighting a potential vulnerability. Rybakina’s opponents have shown a first serve win percentage of 59.8% and a second serve success of 53.3%, suggesting she can capitalize on Sabalenka's serve struggles. Additionally, Rybakina's ability to save break points (61.5%) further enhances her defensive capabilities. Given the hard court surface and Sabalenka’s serve issues, Rybakina is primed to exploit these weaknesses, making her the preferred pick.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are both powerful players, and their matches often feature a lot of energy. However, their first sets can be tight and competitive, which might lead to fewer games played. Betting on under 9.5 total games in the first set seems like a good move, given how closely matched they are.
Our numbers suggest this matchup is nearly a toss-up, and we expect around 10 games in total. The risk here is that both players could find their rhythm early and push the game to a longer set. Still, under 9.5 games feels like a solid choice with these two going head-to-head.

The biggest risk is that Sabalenka is also a fierce competitor who can take control of the game quickly. However, Rybakina's recent performances suggest she can come out strong and snag that first set. Plus, getting a chance to bet on her at these odds makes it even more appealing.
