There are few words left to describe Elena Rybakina\u2019s run dating back to last fall\u2019s Asian swing.

She\u2019ll now have a chance to push that number to 13 when she faces World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday\u2019s final.<\/p>\n Rybakina trails Sabalenka 7-8 at the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz level but has won their last two meetings — both in finals — in Riyadh and Melbourne.<\/p>\n If her form against Svitolina, and throughout the week for that matter, is any indication, the 2023 BNP Paribas Open champion will have a strong chance to claim her second title in the desert later this weekend.<\/p>\n More to come\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are few words left to describe Elena Rybakina\u2019s run dating back to last fall\u2019s Asian swing.
