This is a match between two players looking to bounce back after disappointing efforts at the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati, where both players exited at the second-round stage. Ekaterina Alexandrova has not played since Cincinnati, while Clara Tauson has already played won match at this event, which means she could be better adjusted to the conditions than her Russian opponent.
There's not a great deal between these two players according to the rankings, while there's not much between them according to the early betting market, with neither player fancied much more than the other. Clearly, this could be a close match and it's far from easy to call, though if either player deserves to be the favorite, then it's probably Clara Tauson, who may just be slightly leniently priced at +100.
