This Ningbo Open final will see fourth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova face off against third seed Elena Rybakina on Sunday. The Russian will be aiming for her sixth WTA title, while Rybakina pushes for her 10th. Here is our prediction for the match.
Ekaterina Alexandrova has relished a fruitful run at the Ningbo Open after a round-of-16 defeat to World No. 5 Jessica Pegula in the Wuhan tournament. She kicked off her campaign with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Yue Yuan.
The World No. 10 also ousted 33rd-ranked McCartney Kessler in straight sets before defeating seventh seed Diana Shnaider 6-3, 6-4 in the semi-finals. The victory over Shnaider saw the 30-year-old qualify for her second final of the season after Linz. Although she has won five of her six finals, she has lost four of her last five appearances.
Elena Rybakina defeated World No. 30 Dayana Yastremska in three sets in the round of 16 and 104th-ranked Ajla Tomljanovic in the quarterfinals with a straight-set victory.
Her best performance came against second seed Jasmine Paolini in the semi-finals. The Kazakhstani star won 100% of her service games to dismantle the Italian 6-3, 6-2 in one hour and 30 minutes. She has won nine of her 11 finals overall, but lost 10 of them on hard courts (W4).
