Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Ekaterina Alexandrova reached the last-16 in Cincinnati after getting past Maya Joint in straight sets. Alexandrova fell an early break down in the opening set but quickly recovered and began to dominate as she wasn’t broken again in the match and won 6-3 6-4. The Russian has enjoyed a solid season so far and has quickly recovered from her blip in Montreal last time out, which saw her lose early on.
She faces Anna Kalinskaya in the next round. Kalinskaya continued her upturn in form with a straight sets win over Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova. Breaks were traded in both sets but it was Kalinskaya who came out on top in the vital moments, as she claimed a 7-5 6-4 victory. The world number 34 has struggled for consistent results during this campaign but reached the final of the Washington Open a fortnight ago without the drop of a set and is eyeing up a deep run here.
Alexandrova dominates the head-to-head, leading 6-0 and 3-0 on outdoor hard court. She beat Kalinskaya in the second-round of the Wuhan Open last October, their most recent meeting. This could end up being a tight match, but we back the consistent Alexandrova to prevail once more.
