Davis is not in the best shape, having won only one match in the last four tournaments. Alexandrova, after a long break, has made her mark with a win in Cincinnati over Fernandez and is quite capable of adding to her game for the start in Cleveland.
In their only head-to-head encounter, the two players played 19 games in two sets.
Davis has had a very unsuccessful run in recent tournaments. In Cincinnati, she failed to overcome qualifications, losing straight away to Anhelina Kalinina (2-6, 4-6).
In Toronto, Lauren was a step away from the main draw but lost in the decisive round of qualifying to Storm Sanders (3-6, 6-1, 3-6).
At the tournaments in Lausanne and Palermo, Davis dropped out of the first round without taking a single set in two matches.
However, she did have some successes this season. For example, reaching the semi-finals in Bastad and the third round of the Miami Open. Lauren won two more matches in Adelaide, but that was in early January.
Davis has lost 6 of her last 7 matches at the WTA-250 level.
Alexandrova, meanwhile, has only played two matches so far on the hard court after the grass part of the season.
In Cincinnati, Ekaterina started with a class victory over Leylah Annie Fernandez (6-4, 7-5), but right after that, she lost to Zhang Shuai (3-6, 4-6).
Alexandrova’s main success this year remains her sensational victory at the tournament in Hertogenbosch. She also reached the semi-finals in Madrid. In the Spanish capital, she managed to defeat Jelena Ostapenko and Amanda Anisimova.
In the current season, Alexandrova has never won more than one match on the hard court.
Alexandrova has won her last 11 consecutive first-round matches.
In Davis’ three previous matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.56.
