WTA Rabat – Kamilla Rakhimova vs Camila Osorio

🧠 Form & Context

🇷🇺 Kamilla Rakhimova
🔄 Erratic 2025: 9–15 overall, with a 7–6 clay record showing mild surface comfort.
🔥 Strong Rabat start: Beat Jil Teichmann in straights, building on QF run in Paris WTA 125.
🏟️ Rabat history: Semifinalist in 2024, R16 in 2023—performs well here.
⚠️ Head-to-head issue: 0–3 vs Osorio, including two straight-set losses.

🇨🇴 Camila Osorio
🧱 Clay-court pedigree: 7–3 in 2025, 114–50 career clay record.
Gritty R1 win: Outlasted Cocciaretto in three sets.
📈 Solid spring: Bogotá SF, Madrid R16 with wins over Mertens and Kawa.
🧠 Matchup advantage: Never lost to Rakhimova and excels in physical contests.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Rakhimova plays clean, aggressive tennis but is prone to error when drawn into extended exchanges. That’s exactly where Osorio thrives—she defends well, counterpunches with spin and angles, and turns rallies into endurance tests. The slower Rabat clay enhances Osorio’s game and negates Rakhimova’s flatter pace. With three prior wins over her opponent, the Colombian enters with both tactical and psychological edges.

🔮 Prediction

Unless Rakhimova redlines her game and keeps rallies short, Osorio’s physicality and grinding consistency should overwhelm her again. Form, surface, and H2H all point one way. 🧩 Prediction: Camila Osorio in 2 sets — Rakhimova fights hard but fades under the sustained pressure of Osorio’s clay-court prowess.
