After pulling off a comeback win over Lois Boisson in the second round, Ekaterina Alexandrova targets a spot in the semifinal round as she plays Ella Seidel of Germany in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Korea Open.
Alexandrova is a -480 favorite, but the +350 underdog Ella Seidel is riding a four-match winning streak.
Current Form:
Alexandrova needed three sets to stave off a spirited challenge from the 2025 French Open semifinalist Lois Boisson 4-6 6-2 6-2. Alexandrova, now ranked No.11 in the world, overcame 14 double faults by winning 84 percent of her first serves and capturing 5 breakpoint conversions. Alexandrova has won seven of her last nine matches on the hard court, bumping up her record to 14-11 on the hard court this year.
Ranked outside the WTA top-100 at 105, Seidel defied the odds in her 6-7, 7-6, 7-5 win over former world No.10 and defending Korea Open champion Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil. Seidel won 48 points behind the first serves and added 30 more behind the second, conceding only three service breaks to Maia.

Our Ella Seidel vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Prediction
Expect a better performance from Ekaterina Alexandrova in this match. Alexandrova had to dig deep to beat a very talented Lois Boisson in the next round, though she would have beaten her more soundly had the Russian controlled the first set. Against Seidel, Alexandrova understands that she will need a strong first set to set the pace of the match and squash the German’s spirit right away.
Seidel is coming in brimming with confidence following her upset win over Maia. On the other hand, bettors should take into account that Maia isn’t having a great season on the tour and is coming off a loss to Renata Zarazua in São Paolo. Alexandrova is a far more daunting opponent for Seidel because the Russian’s 7-1 record this year against players outside the WTA top-100.
