Rybakina vs Fruhvirtova Prediction & Pick

Fruhvirtova has the potential to be a star one day, but she's in over her head in this matchup. Rybakina is one of the best players on the planet and has made it past the first round in each of her last three French Open appearances. She's also a clear threat after making the finals in two of her past three major appearances, which includes her Wimbledon 2022 win.

It's also easier to side with Rybakina due to Fruhvirtova's mixed season. While the 16-year-old prodigy won one event (ITF $40,000), she's suffered three first-round eliminations in five outings. On top of that, Fruhvirtova couldn't even make it beyond the Australian Open's first round.

At the end of the day, Rybakina is a threat to win the 2023 title and won't be stopped by her inexperienced opponent.

Winner: Elena Rybakina

Rybakina vs Fruhvirtova Best Bet

With the odds being as lopsided as they are, there isn't a ton of value in this matchup. Nevertheless, I'll take Rybakina winning in two sets as the best bet. She's as dominant of a force as it gets and knows what it takes to make a deep run at a major tournament. Fruhvirtova is still learning to swim with the sharks and will need some time before she's ready for this stage.

In what should be a short battle, take Rybakina to win in two.

Bet: Elena Rybakina to Win in Two Sets (-350)
