LiontipsLulu Sun vs Ekaterina Alexandrova. Prediction and bets on the WTA Monterrey match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lulu Sun is having a great hard court period. Last week in Cincinnati, the tennis player advanced from the qualifiers to the second round of the main draw. In Monterrey, we see her already in the semifinals, although it was not easy. At the start, there was a tight match against Paquet (7-6, 6-3), then only in three games in the decisive tie-break did she manage to break Carla's resistance (6-3, 2-6, 7-6). The quarterfinal against Erika Andreeva (6-4, 6-3) was the easiest.

Lulu Sun has made significant progress on tour, with a tenacious baseline game and a decent first serve. Overall, she doesn't stand out in any particular way on tour.

Current form
Alexandrova's fans waited for her breakthrough. For the first time in a long time, Ekaterina won two matches at once in one tournament and advanced to the semifinals. At the start, the Russian tennis player worked flawlessly on her serve and confidently defeated Sarasua (6-3, 6-4). Next, she had a more stubborn match against Yuan Yue, who managed to take revenge for her recent defeat at the Olympics (7-5, 7-6). This time, Alexandrova worked clearly on the first serve, but there were difficulties on the second serve - she allowed herself seven double faults.

Ekaterina is capable of working steadily on the back line, but still bets on playing ahead of the game, not giving her opponents time to think and make decisions. In addition, the tennis player has a powerful first serve in her arsenal - in two matches in Monterey she has already managed to perform 24 aces.
