Elena Rybakina is the clear favorite in this Roland Garros second-round match against Yuliia Starodubtseva. Rybakina's superior ranking, exceptional form, and strong clay-court prowess position her for a dominant victory. Starodubtseva, while having a solid season, faces a significant challenge against the World No. 2.
Yuliia Starodubtseva host Elena Rybakina at Paris, France on Wednesday, part of the 2026 WTA - Roland Garros season. ATP/WTA rankings, surface form, and head-to-head record are factored into the model alongside the prediction below.
ATS PREDICTION
Elena Rybakina Win
Predicted: 2-0
⚡90%
Elena Rybakina, ranked World No. 2, enters this match as the overwhelming favorite due to her superior ranking, excellent recent form (80% win rate in last 10 matches), and strong clay court record (71.6% career win rate, 82% in 2026). She comfortably won her first-round match 6-2, 6-2. Yuliia Starodubtseva, ranked No. 54, has shown solid form but faces a significant step up in competition against a top-tier opponent. Rybakina's powerful serve and aggressive baseline game are expected to dominate on clay, making it difficult for Starodubtseva to disrupt her rhythm.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Rybakina -6.5 games (-6.5)
85%
Given Elena Rybakina's dominant form, high ranking, and strong clay-court performance, she is expected to win comfortably in straight sets. Her first-round victory with an 8-game differential suggests she can easily cover a -6.5 game spread against a lower-ranked opponent like Starodubtseva, whose clay record, while respectable, is not on par with Rybakina's.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 20.5
85%
With Elena Rybakina predicted to win in straight sets (2-0) and her powerful game leading to quick points, the total number of games is likely to be low. A scoreline similar to her first-round win (6-2, 6-2 = 16 games) or even 6-3, 6-3 (18 games) would comfortably fall under 20.5 games. Starodubtseva will struggle to win enough games to push the total higher.
