Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Xinyu Wang prediction
Ekaterina Alexandrova moved into the second-round of the US Open after defeating Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets. A topsy-turvy first set saw five breaks of serve overall, with Alexandrova just about getting in front. She dominated the rest of the match to win 6-4 6-1. The 30-year-old is now up to 12 in the world and has enjoyed a fine season, having won the Linz Open, reached the final in Monterrey just last week and got through to four other semi-finals.
Xinyu Wang came from a set down to get past Caroline Dolehide in the first-round. Dolehide broke three times as she dominated the first set, but Wang was in control after that, as she wasn’t broken on serve again and went on to win 2-6 6-4 6-2 after two hours and 11 minutes.
Wang leads the head-to-head 2-1 and all their matches have been on outdoor hard court. She also won their last meeting at the Wuhan Open, coming from a set down to win 4-6 7-5 7-6 in the semi-finals last autumn. Nevertheless, Alexandrova possesses the stronger weapons and has been very consistent in 2025. We give her the edge on this occasion.
