Rybakina&#8217;s level dropped a little in the following set, but she managed to come through 7-4 in the tie-break.<\/p>\n<p>Elina Svitolina, meanwhile, produced a superb display to see off second seed Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian previously had a 1-4 record against Swiatek, and had lost their last three encounters without winning a set, but she found the answers this time around to progress to the second Indian Wells semi-final of her career.<\/p>\n<p>There is not an awful lot separating these two, with their career head-to-head standing at 3-3. Only one of those was contested on hard courts though, with Svitolina winning their Olympics contest in three sets in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Both have played some excellent tennis at Indian Wells and will push each other all the way, so were expecting this one to go to a decider.<\/p>\n<p>Elena Rybakina vs Elina Svitolina\u00a0tip:\u00a0Total sets \u2013 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Click here for today\u2019s sports betting tips from our expert analysts!
