THE PREDICTION
World number 34 Ekaterina Alexandrova has taken out two strong competitors sop far in Karolina Muchova and eighth seed Belinda Bencic in the round of 16 and she is one of a few players on tour to hold a positive record over Simona Halep. The Russian leads Halep 2-1 in their head-to-head record and beat the Romanian only recently at the Gippsland Trophy in Melbourne as part of the warm-up events to the Australian Open. However, 29-year-old Halep is at her best on clay with the pace and power to chase down anything and she blew Market Vondrousova off the court in their round of 16 match here in Stuttgart. The world number three has been struggling for consistency due in large part to the pandemic but she is at her best on this surface and in this season. Take Halep to win outright here with the amount of sets looking well up for debate seeing how well Alexandrova is playing.
