Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Marta Kostyuk Prediction
The Difference Maker: Ekaterina Alexandrova won 74 percent of her first serves and 57 percent of her second serves against Han Guo in the first round. Although Kostyuk is a much better returner than the Chinese, Alexandrova will be deadly against anyone if she’s dominating the service battle.
What to Expect: Alexandrova pulls off an upset over Kostyuk. Kostyuk hasn’t been playing as sharply as she did during the clay and grass-court seasons. The wrist injury might be holding her back from unleashing her full power on every shot. Meanwhile, Alexandrova can always take down top-tier players, based on 22 career top-10 wins.
Fearless Forecast: Ekaterina Alexandrova wins 6-4, 5-7, 7-5
