Coco Gauff vs Ekaterina Alexandrova : Prediction
Gauff has an extraordinary defensive game and can run all day long. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in her ability to fight. Alexandrova is coming into this tournament on the back of a first round defeat at the Lyon Open, where she was also the top seed. But she has a strong, powerful, aggressive game which will be difficult for Gauff to negotiate.
Match Prediction: Ekaterina Alexandrova will beat Coco Gauff in three sets.
