Our Dayana Yastremska vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Dayana Yastremska upsets out-of-form Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-7, 6-3
Yastremska put on a solid showing in her win over Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round, demonstrating impressive ball-striking and the killer instinct to put the Brazilian away down the stretch. Yastremska owns 18 career wins over top-20 competitions, so you know she has the tools to take down the No. 11-ranked Alexandrova. Yastremska is 3-3 head-to-head vs. the Russian, and even took her to three sets in their last meeting last year in Linz.
It has been a rough first month for Alexandrova, who dropped her first round assignment at the Australian Open against a player outside the top-100. In four matches in 2026, Alexandrova has converted 16 of 32 breakpoints but is only winning 62.2 percent of her first serves.
This is going to be a competitive match from start to finish, but I am rolling with the players who have better form this year, and that is Yastremska. When she’s playing her brand of tennis, Alexandrova is a threat to anyone on the tour. But the last three matches have exposed an out-of-shape Alexandrova to start the season.
Our betting prediction for Ekaterina Alexandrova vs. Dayana Yastremska: Dayana Yastremska will win.
