Alexandrova in Decent Form
Ekaterina Alexandrova could have hoped for a better build-up to the French Open, but that does not mean it has all been a disaster.
Starting with Charleston and ending in Rome, the 28-year-old Russian beat the likes of Yulia Putintseva, Julia Grabher, Alize Cornet, and Qinwen Zheng. All of these translate into a fourth-round appearance in Madrid and a quarterfinal feat in Charleston.
Alexandrova did lose in the openers in Rome and Stuttgart to Camila Giorgi and Donna Vekic, respectively.
Perhaps, the current World No. 23 can also tap into her decent hard-court swing. Her noteworthy results there include a third-round stint in the Australian Open and, later, a 1/8 showdown in Miami (beating Belinda Bencic and Bianca Andreescu en route).
All things considered, she is 11-10 in 2023, now looking to better her third-round result in the Roland Garros.

Tomova, Working Hard
Viktoriya Tomova of Bulgaria has had a decent season; the 28-year-old is 22-14, with 10 of those victories coming on clay courts. She is also ranked World No. 72 – which is a career-best feat for her.
What made this possible was her title run in ITF Zaragoza – which was her 16th ITF final – along with relentless grinding in qualifiers.
For example, in Dubai and Doha, Tomova cleared the prelims and made it to the early rounds in the main draw. In Miami, too, she reached round two in a similar fashion.
Viktoriya last played in the Strasbourg International, where she fell to Lauren Davis in the round of 16. Before that, the Bulgarian was beaten by Yulia Putintseva in the Italian Open opener.
Alexandrova v Tomova Prediction and Tip
Tomovoa has some traction to make her case, especially when we consider her clay form. But her overall lack of experience – when compared to Alexandrova’s pedigree and her frequent encounters with the tour elites – will make things a whole lot more difficult.
Ekaterina starts as the odds-on favourite here.
Tips:
- Low-Risk Tip: Alexandrova to win 2-0: 4/5
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 19.5 games: 5/6
