In the German capital of Berlin on Wednesday, the world number one will be in action for the first time on grass in 2026. Aryna Sabalenka takes on Ekaterina Alexandrova, who is currently ranked as the 19th best female player on the planet. We know that someone like Alexandrova can cause a few upsets, but the Russian hasn't made the most fluent start to the grass-court season, while Sabalenka typically starts fast in Berlin.
Looking at the early lines ahead of this game, the world number one may not quite be getting the respect that she deserves, so much so that she's worth betting on to win a by at least a five-game margin all the time odds of -149 are on offer. After all, when she last played Alexandrova on grass, she brushed the Russian aside.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Prediction
The early betting market ahead of this clash seems to be suggesting that Ekaterina Alexandrova has a decent chance of avoiding a heavy defeat, but that doesn't look quite right. The Russian has played a couple of grass-court matches recently, but she hasn't looked anywhere near her best, which doesn't bode well ahead of a match against the best in the business.
The world number one may be playing her first grass-court match of the season, but she has a strong record of hitting the ground running in Berlin, while her most recent grass-court effort against Alexandrova tells us she can win this smoothly.
