2022 Wimbledon Womens Final Ons Jabeur vs. Elena Rybakina: Preview and Prediction

Publish Date: 07/09/2022
Fact checked by: Simon Briffa
LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 07: Ons Jabeur of Tunisia reacts after losing a point against Tatjana Maria of Germany during their Women's Singles Semi-Final match on day eleven of The Championships Wimbledon 2022 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 07, 2022 in London, England.

Ons Jabeur vs. Elena Rybakina

In the semifinals, Jabeur defeated Tatjana Maria, a clever opponent. She won in three sets to tie Amanda Anisimova’s record for most tour victories. Jabeur is currently 11-0 on grass this season and has been 22-2 in her 24 matches. Her 84 matches won since 2021 is the most by any woman on tour.  Rybakina is a live underdog because her style is different from Jabeur’s, so it will be a while before the Tunisian settles into this match.

Rybakina is a much flatter player with her groundstrokes and is one the most powerful women on the tour. Rybakina can hit any shot on the court and her serve is much more powerful than most women’s. Her 217 aces are the most in the WTA leading to Wimbledon.

Rybakina was able to win over Halep because she used every part of her game. Rybakina hit 22 winners, had five aces and broke Halep’s serves four times. Jabeur, who is also in the maiden Major final, was in the same boat as Rybakina and looked calm and poised.

Jabeur will need to use her skill to disperse Rybakina’s power. But power and a big serve always win over grass.

Rybakina’s finals record is slightly worse than Jabeur’s 3-5 record. Rybakina was able to make it to the finals despite having to overcome more obstacles than Jabeur. This should have prepared her mentally to defeat the No. Rybakina is the 2nd ranked player. We call for one more “surprise” in a tournament that is full of surprises. It will be a surprise in the final.

Bet: Elena Rybakina ML (+125 at DraftKings)
