Alexandra Eala vs Alina Charaeva Prediction & Picks - WTA 125K Birmingham, Great Britain Women Singles

Prediction published on 6/4/26, 5:49 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/4/26 at 3:16 PM in Tennis Picks

Momentum: Alexandra Eala opened her grass-court season emphatically, needing only 59 minutes to dispatch Priscilla Hon 6-0, 6-2 in the first round of the 2026 Birmingham Open.

Charaeva also cruised to a clinical win over Greet Minnen 6-3, 6-1. The 130th-ranked Charaeva conceded only one service game and converted five breakpoints in the lopsided win.

Matchup: Eala and Charaeva are 1-1 in their head-to-head series, but Eala demolished the Russian 6-1, 6-2 in their recent meeting at the WTA 125 Philippine Open last January.

Difference Maker: Eala flexes a 16-8 record or a 66.7 percent win rate on grass. Eala made some noise on the grass last year when she reached the final of the 2025 Eastbourne International. She lost the title to Maya Joint in a thrilling finale, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6. Meanwhile, Charaeva has only played 3 grass-court matches in her career, going 2-1.
