Garbine Muguruza vs Elena Rybakina preview Garbine Muguruza at the 2022 French Open. Former Wimbledon winner Garbine Muguruza will take on reigning champion Elena Rybakina in the second round of the 2022 Western & Southern Open on Wednesday. Muguruza has struggled heavily this season, compiling a 9-13 win-loss record so far. She has managed to win consecutive matches just once this season, at the Dubai Tennis Championships back in February. Muguruza was set to commence her North American hardcourt swing at the Silicon Valley Classic, but withdrew due to an injury. She returned to action at the Canadian Open. After an opening-round bye, she eased past Kaia Kanepi in straight sets in the second round. The Estonian had previously defeated her in the first round of the French Open a few months ago. The former World No. 1 was up against Belinda Bencic in the third round and suffered a 6-1, 6-3 defeat. Muguruza is a former Cincinnati champion, winning the title back in 2017. The Spaniard will be aiming to recapture some of that old magic to snap out of her current slump. Rybakina at the 2022 Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic.

Garbine Muguruza vs Elena Rybakina prediction Garbine Muguruza at the 2022 Australian Open. While Rybakina hasn't been particularly impressive since winning Wimbledon, Muguruza has been in a slump for a long time now. The former played a great match against Sherif in the first round, but if Muguruza could be difficult to handle if she steps up her game. Rybakina is the better server, so the Spaniard will need to work on upping her return game. During her loss to Bencic last week, Muguruza went 0/4 on break points. The Kazakh is also the bigger hitter among the two players now. While Muguruza has handled power players like Rybakina with ease previously, her groundstrokes seem to have lost their sting this year. She was totally dominated by Bencic last week and Rybakina, the reigning Wimbledon champion, could be all over her as well. Muguruza seems to be a pale imitation of the champion she once was and unless something changes drastically, it's hard to see her winning this match. Pick: Elena Rybakina to win in straight sets.
