Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Clara Tauson prediction

World number 19 Ekaterina Alexandrova hasn’t played overly well throughout the calendar year of 2026. Her hard court season did begin well by reaching the quarter-finals in Toronto before a second round exit at the Cincinnati Open.

Clara Tauson comes into this one on the back of a hard-fought three-set defeat of wildcard entrant Renato Zarazua in the first round. Tauson began her hard court season by reaching the semi-finals in Athens in mid-July.

Tauson will therefore carry through some confidence and momentum into this round of 16 tie but Alexandrova does remain the favourite to progress.
