Qinwen Zheng and Elena Rybakina: Elena Rybakina leads 4–0 across 4 recorded meetings.
Elena Rybakina lost the opening set but turned the match on her second-serve numbers, winning 62% of those points to Qinwen Zheng's 38% — a 24-point gap that decided three tight sets. Zheng's first delivery stayed live (37 of 49, 76%), but nine double faults gave the cushion away every time the rally went long. Rybakina won 23 of 37 second-serve return points and coughed up just one double fault to Zheng's nine, taking the last two sets to push her H2H edge to 3-0 in their first clay meeting at the Madrid Open.
