It all comes down to Sunday at Ningbo, where Elena Rybakina faces Leylah Fernandez for the trophy. Elena Rybakina has won 9 of the last 10. Leylah Fernandez has won 3 in a row and 8 of the last 10 overall.

The serve is where this match separates: Rybakina has been winning 70% of first-serve points to Fernandez's 64.7%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. If Rybakina plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.
