Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Gabriela Knutson prediction

Ekaterina Alexandrova has suffered a downturn in form this season, with nine losses from her 14 matches in 2026. She was handed a bye in the first-round of the Linz Open last week but then fell to a straight sets loss against Karolina Pliskova. Apart from a run to the final of the Abu Dhabi Open, Alexandrova has failed to make it past the second-round of any other tournament. Nevertheless, she did reach the semi-finals of this event last year.

Her campaign begins against Gabriela Knutson. She mainly plies her trade on the ITF circuit, but she did compete in Auckland right at the start of the year, losing in the first-round. She attempted to qualify for the Australian Open right at the start of the year but was unable to do so.

Despite a poor season up to this point, Alexandrova will be a commanding favourite against a player with little tour-level experience, who is also ranked outside of the top 200 in the world.

Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Gabriela Knutson tip: Under 21.5 games
