Rybakina Eyes U.S. Open Redemption | Pro Tennis News

Elena Rybakina, the world’s second-ranked player and reigning Australian Open champ, takes on 17-year-old American teen Thea Frodin in a massive underdog showdown at the U.S. Open. Rybakina, though heavily favored, hasn’t broken through past the fourth round here before — but her hard-court dominance and recent form (quarterfinals in last two tournaments) make her a strong favorite to cruise to a straight-sets win. Frodin, making her Grand Slam debut with a plus-1080 odds tag, brings grit and even stats (29-29 career record), but this is a daunting test against one of tennis’ elite. Expect Rybakina to roll through quickly — and the total games? Likely to fall under. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
