Kamilla Rakhimova vs Ekaterina Alexandrova prediction

Ekaterina Alexandrova continued her excellent recent form with a rock-solid win over Ann Li.

The Russian is now aiming for her third quarter-final of the Asian swing after defeating the American 6-4 6-4.

The world number 33 will fancy her chances too after the injured 2025 champion Belinda Bencic withdrew, giving lucky loser Kamilla Rakhimova an unexpected spot in the round of 16.

This will be their second meeting and it’s Rakhimova who leads the head-to-head after she prevailed at the US Open back in 2021.

The Uzbekistani world number 66 is one victory away from notching up her best season in terms of win tally and although her recent form is patchy, she does have a habit for springing the odd surprise.

With that in mind, you could take a punt on the upset here as she is playing with house money and will hit freely.
