Alexandra Eala vs Jasmine Paolini prediction

Jasmine Paolini will try to kickstart an average beginning to 2026 in Dubai.

The Italian has managed just three wins so far and ended last campaign with four straight losses.

The sixth seed’s motivation will be tested by an eager Alexandra Eala who was leading 6-4 0-1 when Hailey Baptiste retired from their first-round clash. 

Eala will try to be the aggressor here and that should suit Paolini’s counter punching style. 

The 20-year-old Filipina will cause problems but if Paolini has the desire burning again, this match-up should suit her go-to game-plan and help her battle her way to victory.
