Top seed Aryna Sabalenka is back in Berlin and starts her campaign in the second round against Ekaterina Alexandrova. This will mark their ninth meeting, and like the last two, our prediction tips a three-set battle.
Sabalenka, making her grass debut this season, chose to do so at an event she has yet to conquer. The world number one has appeared in Berlin five times before without going all the way.
Last year, she was edged out in the semi-finals. Sabalenka, who has four wins against Alexandrova, has compiled a 31-4 record. She is, however, coming off a disappointing clay season in which she failed to win a title.
Alexandrova defeated Sabalenka when they last met. That was a year ago, on a hard court, to tie this series at 4-4.
The Russian has defeated Sabalenka in two tour finals, most recently in Hertogenbosch four years ago, deepening their rivalry. With a strong record against the world number one, she will fancy producing what will be the first shock of the week.
Alexandrova has struggled this season, though. Through 21 matches, she has lost 14 times and hasn’t won back-to-back fixtures since a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi back in February.
In her first-round match, Alexandrova defeated Anastasia Potapova, who retired with an injury.
