Thea Frodin faces Elena Rybakina in the US Open WTA 1/64-finals on 30 August, with their hard-court match played over the best of three sets.
The gap in the available evidence is large. Rybakina brings a strong hard-court season and an 8-2 recent record, while Frodin's figures come from only one recorded match at this level of analysis.FINISHED

3-6
, 2-6
Rybakina has gone 29-7 on hard courts this season and has won 82% of her service games, giving her a much stronger base for this match. Frodin is 0-1 on the surface in the available sample, with a 42% service hold rate, so her numbers are far less established and come from very limited evidence.
Rybakina has won eight of her last 10 matches and held serve in 80% of service games across that run. Frodin's recent sample contains only one match, a defeat, so it cannot carry the same weight even though her return numbers were more competitive than her serving figures.
Bookmakers price Rybakina at 1.02 against Frodin at 19, while the first-set prices are 1.07 and 9 respectively. Those numbers show how strongly the market expects Rybakina to control the match from the start.
The clearest pressure point is Frodin's ability to protect her serve. Rybakina's hard-court hold rate is almost twice as high in the available season figures, and she has also saved 67% of break points faced. Frodin may create some return pressure, but she is likely to need a much steadier service performance to keep the match close.

Prediction
Elena Rybakina
Thea Frodin
The overall indicators lean very strongly towards Elena Rybakina. Her hard-court record and recent form are both far stronger, while the market also makes her an overwhelming favourite; Frodin's very small sample adds uncertainty, but not enough to outweigh that broad advantage.
