LiontipsBelinda Bencic vs Ekaterina Alexandrova. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Birmingham
Command Analysis
Belinda Bencic did not have a very successful clay part of the season. The Swiss tennis player had a decent run at the tournament in Madrid, where she managed to reach the quarterfinals, but that's it. At Roland Garros, Belinda lost in the second round to Daria Kasatkina (2-6, 2-6).
The transition from clay to grass was successful for Bencic. She first outplayed Niemeier with some problems (4-6, 6-4, 7-5). In the second round, Belinda dealt with Martich much more confidently (6-3, 6-4).
Ekaterina Aleksandrova has not shown stable results throughout the season. The Russian managed to play in more than three rounds at one tournament only one time this season - she reached the semifinals of the tournament in Melbourne.
It is worth mentioning that Ekaterina has been very confident on fast courts throughout her career. The transition to grass this year turned out to be more than successful for her. First, she outplayed her compatriot Kalinskaya (6-3, 6-2), then defeated Svitolina (6-4, 7-5).
