Petra Kvitova v Elena Rybakina Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2022 Ostrava Open and Rybakina had won that encounter in straight sets.

Kvitova Undefeated in 2023
Petra Kvitova began her new season playing in the United Cup and she played two matches so far. Both of those matches were wins and one of them was actually over Jessica Pegula who is in the final of the competition with the USA and just recently beat Iga Swiatek 6-2 6-2.
Kvitova didn’t have a great year in 2022 but she’s started this year much better. We can expect a bounce-back year from her and she will be slightly favoured in this one.
Their only previous match was won by Kvitova but it happened three years ago and Samsonova is much better now.
It will be crucial for Kvitova to serve well as Samsonova will attack her in most rallies but she’s also prone to hitting the ball wide more than once. Serving well and keeping steady are the keys to victory and expect the experienced Czech veteran to be well prepared.

Rybakina 1-1 in 2023 after Falling Early in Adelaide
Wimbledon winner Rybakina had an interesting, bitter-sweet start to the 2023 season, which is not too different from her performance since that Grand Slam victory last year.
There have been times she has looked a part but there have also been occasions when things haven’t gone Rybakina’s way despite starting out as a favourite.
And that seemed to have carried on into the season opener.
She started off with a hard-fought, three-set win over the previous year’s Australian Open runner-up but then starting out as a 1/3 favourite against Marta Kostyuk in the second round, Rybakina was sent packing in three sets too.
Rybakina now starts off with a potentially gruelling opening round match here as she fine-tunes her preparation for the season’s opening Grand Slam.
Kvitova v Rybakina Prediction and Tip
Not much to choose between the two but Rybakina holds bit of the edge here. Expecting the match to go to a third set here.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Rybakina to win: 3/4 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Three sets in the match: 6/4 (Click Here to Bet with 888Sport)
