Ekaterina Alexandrova Player Overview
Alexandrova has had a more up-and-down season. Before arriving in Canada, she went through a rough patch: long three-set matches alternated with early exits.

In the previous rounds of the tournament she defeated Camila Osorio and Talia Gibson. Her average number of games won per match is just over 20, while her set-winning percentage stands at 62%.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Alexandrova has a devastating flat serve and, when she finds her rhythm, is capable of trading winners from the corners with absolutely any opponent on tour. Aryna, for all her power, often drops the start of matches or loses concentration in the second set, producing runs of double faults. Ekaterina will certainly hold her own games and may well take a set, so the bar of 20 games for two attacking players looks like a gift. The bet is total games in the match over 19.5.
