Rybakina has generally been the stronger hard-court player at peak level, with bigger serve/first-strike tennis and more established top-tier results. Zheng is also elite on hard courts and improving, so this is far from lopsided. Absent current draw-specific or fitness information, I’d make Rybakina a modest favorite on a neutral outdoor hard court. I discount slightly for Rybakina’s historical volatility/fitness uncertainty, but still keep her ahead. That leaves Zheng with roughly a 43% chance to win.
Rybakina is generally ranked higher and has a stronger head-to-head record against Zheng historically. Rybakina's powerful serve and groundstrokes make her a favorite on hard courts like the US Open. Zheng has shown improvement and won the 2024 Olympic gold, but Rybakina remains the slight favorite in this matchup. Giving Zheng approximately a 38% chance accounts for her competitive level while reflecting Rybakina's edge on hard courts.
