LiontipsEkaterina Aleksandrova vs. Victoria Tomova. Betting Tip and bets on the US Open match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last week, Alexandrova had a good tournament for the first time in a long time. In Monterrey, the Russian tennis player won two victories, but lost to Sun in the decisive set in a tie-break (5-7, 6-3, 6-7) one step away from the final. It should be noted that Ekaterina worked very confidently on her serve in Mexico, made many aces, and in general, compared to previous competitions, there was obvious progress in her game.
Professional qualities
Aleksandrova loves and knows how to play on fast courts. Here she is helped by her serve, the ability to play ahead, hit the rising ball and thus not give time to think. At the same time, one can periodically observe that when the game is not going well, Ekaterina frankly fails, takes unjustified risks, makes many double faults.
Current indicators in the tour
In the world rankings, Alexandrova remains in the top 30, although she has been having a very inconsistent season. On hard, she has not the most outstanding 11 wins in 20 matches and three semifinals since the beginning of the year, including at the "thousand" tournament in Miami.

Current form
Tomova is approaching the start of the US Open in far from her best form. In preparation for the major, the Bulgarian tennis player played three hard tournaments, winning only one match in Cleveland against the currently not-so-formidable Davis (6-1, 6-4). In the last game, Victoria failed to cope with Rus (3-6, 3-6).
Professional qualities
Tomova is gradually progressing on tour, but does not have any outstanding playing qualities. Victoria is inclined to play on the back line, to long rallies.

Alexandrova has clearly managed to overcome her slump, as evidenced by her play and results in Monterrey. At the US Open, Ekaterina needs to defend her points from last year's third round; her opponent is not the toughest, especially on hard courts. The Russian tennis player, thanks to her bolder and more aggressive tennis, will be able to regularly break through Tomova's defense.
