Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Taylor Townsend – Match Predictions
Contents
Ekaterina Alexandrova to Win
It is difficult not to back Alexandrova in this meeting. The gulf in their rankings alone makes a punt on her the likely task. Add to the fact that their recent duel at the Australian Open also saw her come out on top, which makes the decision easy. However, it was not easy as Townsend took the lead with a 6-1 dismantling. Alexandrova’s quality and resilience helped her as she won 1-2.
Over 20.5 Games
Townsend is playing fiercely and showcased her talent against her ousting of Hungarian Anna Bondar. She comes up against a familiar foe, one who she dragged to the depths at the grand stage. Alexandrova has quality on her side but can be undone by experience as was the case at Indian Wells against Wang Xinyu. Their duel in Australian Open saw blows exchanged and took three sets to complete and we believe a tiring outing is awaiting the two contenders.
Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Taylor Townsend Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Ekaterina Alexandrova
The 28-year-old continues to impress in bits and pieces and not for long stretches. As its stands, 2023 has been challenging for her since her passage to the 1/16 finals of the Australian Open. Since then she has added just one more victory to her ranks. At Linz, Doha and Indian Wells, she bowed out early and needs a better result at Miami Open for an average outing at the Sunset Double.
Taylor Townsend
It has been a tough start to the 2023 campaign for Taylor Townsend. The 26-year-old has not been as active as she would have liked and continues to slip down the rankings. Townsend took a break after the Australian Open and only returned to activity at the start of March. She is still showing cobwebs in her game and needs to start firing on all cylinders as we move from harch courts and onto the clay court circuit.
