Rybakina vs Noskova Prediction & Pick

These two pros have never met head-to-head before, which makes diving into each one a bit more important. Rybakina has looked stellar on clay this year with a 10-2 record, while Noskova has been average with a 4-3 record. The biggest difference can be seen when it comes to experience.

More 2023 French Open betting coverage from The Duel:

Rybakina has advanced to at least the third round in each of the last two French Opens. On the other side, Noskova is in the second round for the first time in her career. The pressure is only growing, so look for Noskova's run to come to an end against Rybakina's dominating serve (9 aces in Round 1).

Winner: Elena Rybakina

Rybakina vs Noskova Best Bet

Rybakina has now logged eight career wins at the French Open and seven of those wins have come by a margin of at least six games. The 23-year-old knows how to pull away from opponents by relying on her serve as well as her endurance. I believe she is somehow being underrated here against an inexperienced opponent who has never gone beyond the second round in a grand slam tournament.

Bet: Elena Rybakina -5.5 Games (-136)
