Ekaterina Alexandrova v Aliaksandra Sasnovich Head to Head
There have been five previous meetings between these two players including one in the qualifiers of the St. Petersburg Open in 2017 and at a WTA 125 event in Limoges in 2019 and Alexandrova leads 4-1.
Interestingly, Sasnovich’s only win over Alexandrova came in their most recent meeting which was on the clay courts of Rome last year. It’s 3-0 in hardcourt competitions and 2-0 indoors in favour of Alexandrova.
Alexandrova in Need of Consistency
She has been a top-15 player but in more recent times Ekaterina Alexandrova looks to have fallen off the radar a tad thanks to her inconsistencies on the tour.
This has been on display this very season with the Russian winning just one of the four matches she has played so far.
That came against the much-fancied Leylah Fernandez at the Adelaide International but it had been preceded by a first round loss in Brisbane and was followed by successive losses to Emma Navarro and Emma Raducanu.
Sure, the opponents she has played this early in these competitions have been tricky, which is why a comprehensive win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich could go a long way in helping her get back on track.
She had an opening round bye here.

Sasnovich Brushes off the Zakharova Threat
Aliaksandra Sasnovich was a relative favourite going into her first round match against Anastasia Zakharova but given her performances in more recent times, one couldn’t be sure how she might go in the contest.
As it turned out, Sasnovich lived up to the 4/6 odds and carved out her first main draw win at this level of the season in straight sets.
In fact, her 6-3, 7-6 (3) win over Zakharova was her first since July last year when she made the final of the Budapest Open. It was also her first win outside of clay in nearly 10 months having last made the second round of the Charleston Open last year in a hardcourt competition there.
All that being the case, she would have it really difficult when she takes on a player who loves featuring in hardcourt competitions.
Alexandrova v Sasnovich Prediction
There’s not much doubt in our minds who the favourite is despite Alexandrova’s underwhelming start to the season. Backing her to clinch this in two.
