Barbora Krejcikova vs Ekaterina Alexandrova prediction
Barbora Krejcikova continued her relatively strong form with a comfortable straight sets win over Anna Blinkova in round one. The Czech converted five of her six break point opportunities as she sealed a 6-2 6-2 victory. She has reached the quarter-finals of her last two tournaments.
Ekaterina Alexandrova will be her opponent in the second-round as the Russian received a bye in round one. She continued her fine season in Seoul last week as she made her third final of 2025. She pushed Iga Swiatek all the way but lost out in three sets. Nevertheless, it’s been a strong campaign for Alexandrova, who is at her highest ever ranking of 11.
Alexandrova leads the head-to-head 3-2 and 2-0 on hard courts. However, Krejcikova did come out on top in their two most recent encounters, though they haven’t faced each other since the 2021 French Open, which the Czech went on to win.
This is one of the most intriguing second-round clashes but Alexandrova has been the stronger player over the season and deservedly starts as the favourite to advance.
