Hanyu Guo vs Ekaterina Alexandrova prediction

Ekaterina Alexandrova will be a heavy favourite against Chinese underdog Hanyu Guo.

The Russian has found some consistency in recent months and reached the last eight in Beijing last month.

Wildcard, Guo scored shock wins in Wuhan to suggest she won’t be cannon fodder in this one despite her ranking just inside the top 200. 

That said, her surprise factor is gone now, so Ekaterina should be ready.
