Alexandrova in Solid Form
Ekaterina Alexandrova is set to start her campaign in the Berlin Grass Championships on the back of a successful title defence of the Rosmalen Open.
Last week in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the 28-year-old lifted her fourth WTA singles title by beating Veronika Kudermetova in the final. En route, she did not drop a single set as she moved past the likes of Evgeniya Rodina, Kimberly Birrell, Emina Bektas, and Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
To list her other notable moments, Alexandrova reached the fourth round in Madrid, round three in the French Open and Australian Open, and the quarterfinals in Charleston and Miami.
Her record is 18-11 – to add to this further, her performance on grass has been rather decent through the years. While she may not have translated those results into a deep Wimbledon run, that may change this season.
At least in Berlin this week, Ekaterina is the player to beat.

Samsonova Seeking Resurgence
Liudmila Samsonova is coming off a much-needed quarterfinal showing in the Libema Open. She lost that match to Aliaksandra Sasnovich but, in the process, won at least two matches in a week for the first time since the Madrid Open.
A runner-up in this year’s WTA Abu Dhabi, where she beat the likes of Barbora Krejcikova and Veronika Kudermetova, Samsonova has since struggled to emulate such results.
It’s been a mixed season for her, to say the least. The 24-year-old is 14-13 at the moment, but despite that, she finds herself ranked World No. 15.
Liudmila has her work cut out in Berlin this week – but if she can beat Alexandrova, that should boost her confidence. She has a pretty good record on grass; she was the German Open champion in 2021 and followed that with a fourth-round stint in Wimbledon.
Alexandrova v Samsonova Prediction and Tip
Alexandrova starts as the odds-on favourite but don’t let that distract you from considering Samsonova as a potential winner. The latter has some history in Berlin and can very well redeem herself on grass. Expect a cracking affair.
Tips:
- Low-Risk Tip: Alexandrova to win: 8/11
- Moderate Risk Tip: Three sets in the match: 2/1
