Dayana Yastremska vs Ekaterina Alexandrova prediction

Ekaterina Alexandrova meets Dayana Yastremska for the seventh time bidding to arrest a mini slump.

The second seed suffered disappointing first round losses in Adelaide and at the Australian Open and has now lost three matches in a row.

The Russian knows Yastremska will be up for the fight too with their head-to-head finely poised at 3-3.

Alexandrova won their most recent clash on a hardcourt last year and has won their last two meetings.

Dayana heads into the showdown on the back of a rock-solid 6-2 7-5 win over Beatriz Haddad Maia and will be eager to make up ranking points after her early loss in Melbourne saw her tumble from inside the top 30 to 42 in the rankings.

Everything points to this being a hard-fought affair with the nationalities of the players also playing a role in a face-off neither will want to lose.
