Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Elena Rybakina Preview & Tips

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro was too good for Darja Vidmanova in the first round of the US Open as she stormed to a 6-3 6-4 win over her opponent.

Elena Rybakina was far too strong for Thea Frodin in the first round of the US Open as she eliminated her opponent in a simple 6-3 6-2 win.

Head To Head

The pair have met once before, with Rybakina easily beating her opponent back in late 2024.

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Form

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro stormed to victory in the last round of the US Open as she was able to showcase some impressive tennis on the big stage.

Going 4-0 up in the first set saw her impress, but it will be a real point of concern that she saw this lead cut to 4-3 before she eventually pulled away. Against a player like Rybakina, she cannot afford to allow a lead to slip, while if she is to hand her opponent the initiative, she will not look back.

Heading into this one, it is worth bearing in mind that her record this season is poor. She may have roared to a win in the opening round of the US Open, but she has lost 24 of her 43 matches in 2026, while she has been beaten in 13 of her 20 hard court outings.

While Bouzas Maneiro will have her moments in this meeting, I do not see her taking a set from a very good opponent.

Elena Rybakina Form

Elena Rybakina is looking to extend a very impressive record of 43 wins in 56 matches in 2026, while she has secured victories in 30 of her 37 on hard courts this season.

Her opener at the US Open could not have gone much better as she enjoyed a good workout in both sets. While her opponent could only win five games across two sets, she did not completely collapse on the court, meaning Rybakina was able to hit the ground running without needing to be on the court for too long.

This win means Rybakina has started the final Slam of the year well. Chasing a second of the four Slams in 2026 after winning the Australian Open, I am backing Rybakina to move up through the gears as she dispatches her opponent in the second round.

Verdict

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro v Elena Rybakina

I am backing Rybakina to avoid dropping a set as she knocks her opponent out in a simple win.

Rybakina 2-0
