Ons Jabeur vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Preview
Eighth seed Ons Jabeur has been in sublime form at the Madrid Open and is one of the favourites now to lift the trophy. However, she will face the in form Russian qualifier, Ekaterina Alexandrova in the semifinals as she aims to book a place in the finals. Jabeur has been playing at a very high level, especially on clay but has not had that element of luck that is needed to challenge for titles. She reached the finals at the Charleston Open but lost out against Belinda Bencic.
However, she is looking even better at the Madrid Open and has already beaten Bencic and former World No.1 Simona Halep in the last two rounds respectively and is now looking for a spot in the finals as she takes the Alexandrova test in the last four fight.
On the other hand, Alexandrova has had a topsy turvy ride at the Spanish capital. The Russian tennis star had to clear the qualifying round to enter the main draw and it got even tougher from there but the 27-year-old held her nerve and kept fighting and overcame every challenge reaching the semifinals.
She defeated Jelena Ostapenko in the first round of the main draw in an epic three set clash. Followed by a straight-set win against local player Nuria Parrizas-Diaz. She then defeated Marie Bouzkova and Amanda Anisimova in back to back matches to reach the last four at the Madrid Open. This is her first WTA 1000 semifinals and she will look to give her all against Ons Jabeur.
Ons Jabeur vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Head to head
Surprisingly Ekaterina Alexandrova has a superlative record against the Tunisian. Alexandrova has a head to head statistic of 6-1 against Ons Jabeur. The former World No.25 has won the last four meetings, Jabeur’s only win against the Russian came five years ago.
Ons Jabeur vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Prediction
Despite Alexandrova’s sensational record against Ons Jabeur, the current form speaks a completely different story for both the players. Ekaterina Alexandrova has held her nerve brilliantly and reached the last four at the Madrid Open. But looking at Jabeur’s sublime form, the Tunisian will be a huge favourite for this game. She fought tooth and nail against Belinda Bencic and finally got the better of the Swiss., She then blew away former World No.1 Simona Halep in the quarterfinals and will be looking to continue that form in the semifinals as she is aiming to win the title this time.
But surely Alexandrova will have the psychological edge over the World No.10 due to her favourable head to head statistics and also her current form. The Russian has been very good as she has hustled her way past players to reach here and won’t let it go that easily.
Prediction: Ons Jabeur in three sets
