After her quarter-final exit in Toronto, Ekaterina Alexandrova starts her Cincinnati quest with a match against qualifier Anna Blinkova. The two Russians are facing off in the second round, meeting for the fourth time in their careers. Deciders have been needed in their latest outings, and our prediction backs the same here.
Blinkova is marking her sixth Cincinnati appearance and has finally made it past the first round. In the first round, she overcame Mananchaya Sawangkaew in three sets.
The 27-year-old will reach a new season high with a win here, as she hasn’t gone past the second round on tour in 2026. She comes here on a losing run, having compiled a 20-24 record, and she’s 97th in the live ranking.
Alexandrova will also be looking to break new ground, having failed to advance past the second round in her seven Cincinnati appearances. Her journey ended in the first round on her last appearance here, in 2024.
Like her compatriot, Alexandrova comes here on a losing record. She is currently at 14-19 for the season, coming from a three-set loss to Elina Svitolina in the Toronto quarters.
Her highlight for the season was getting to the Abu Dhabi final. The 31-year-old has lost 10 of her 18 hard court matches and is placed 17th in the live ranking.
