Rybakina secured her spot by defeating Jessica Pegula in straight sets, overcoming several comeback attempts in the second set. The match culminated in a tense tiebreak, sealed by a powerful winner from the 26-year-old. To challenge Sabalenka effectively, the Kazakh player will need to maintain her aggressive style of play.
Sabalenka, on the other hand, had a more straightforward semi-final, dominating Elina Svitolina. Her formidable power game consistently put pressure on Svitolina's serve from the outset.
Rybakina recently defeated Sabalenka in the WTA Finals last year, bringing their head-to-head record to 6-8 in favor of Sabalenka. Interestingly, their last three encounters have all concluded in straight sets.
