Our Hanyu Guo vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Prediction
The Difference Maker: Ekaterina Alexandrova is winning 65.9 percent of her first-serve points and averaging 4.7 aces in hard-court matches in 2026. She has also converted an impressive 46.9 percent of break chances on the surface this year.
What to Expect: Unless Han Guo comes up with another spirited performance, she has no chance of upsetting a far superior Alexandrova. Alexandrova’s flat groundstrokes and massive serves will test the quality of Guo’s return game from start to finish. In the end, it’s all about Alexandrova’s top-10 pedigree and the massive gap separating the two players.
