I said the other day that to be able to challenge Elena Rybakina in these conditions, you need to have the mix of movement and power to exploit Rybakina’s ability to change direction and cover the court well. Enter Belinda Bencic. I am going against … Continue readingSteve’s WTA Tokyo Games Preview: Bencic vs Rybakina
