Despite how their first meeting went, this quarterfinal clash between Ekaterina Alexandrova and Sofia Kenin in the Toray Pan Pacific Open is expected to end swiftly. See our sharp pick in this Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Sofia Kenin match prediction.

Their first and only clash ended in a 2-1 win for Alexandrova. However, we're betting on the opposite in this game, specifically backing this game to end in two sets, regardless of the winner. We still expect Alexandrova to come out on top, but the sharper play here is to keep it to two sets only (no winner specified).

For Alexandrova, who's the expected winner, her opening game ended in two sets, and so have her last eight wins. In fact, 15 of her last 17 wins were two-set victories, and 13 of her last 17 games in general also ended this way. Her opening game in this tournament is especially notable, as Alexandrova thrashed Jaqueline Cristian 6-1, 6-2.

Likewise, for Kenin, her opening day matchup was also a 6-1,6-3 thrashing to Moyuka Uchijima. Now, two of Kenin’s last three games have ended in two sets, and more interestingly, five of her last eight losses have come in two sets.
