Command Analysis
Ekaterina Alexandrova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Alexandrova has scored an impressive run and is currently on a seven-match winning streak. After the title in Linz, Ekaterina did not stop there, she reached the quarterfinals in Doha, and managed to beat world number one Sobolenko in the second round (3-6, 6-3, 7-6). She also scored victories over Raducanu (6-3, 7-5) and Mertens (6-4, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Ekaterina, when she plays out, feels confident in her own abilities, plays number one on the court, boldly goes on the attack, acts ahead of schedule, does not give her rivals time to think. Plus, she has a very solid first serve, which is most effective on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Alexandrova played 11 matches in the tour, in which she was able to score eight victories. The Russian tennis player showed the best result in the Linz gym, where she won the title. She currently ranks 26th in the world rankings, but she will definitely rise higher, as she has already improved her result last year in Doha, when she sheathed her racket in the 1/8 finals.
Interesting facts for betting
- In three of the last five matches, Alexandrova played in two sets.
- In only one of the five previous matches, Ekaterina played more than nine games in the first set.
Jessica Pegula
USACurrent form
Pegula was approaching the start in Doha after a poor performance at the Australian Open, where she lost her racket in the third round. Jessica played two matches on local courts, in which she defeated Svitolina (6-3, 7-6) and Kasatkina (6-3, 7-5) without losing sets. As you can see, in these fights she had difficulties in the second sets.
Professional qualities
This is not to say that Jessica has outstanding physical abilities, like Rybakina or Sobolenko, but this does not prevent her from playing aggressive attacking tennis and achieving success.
Current indicators in the tour
Pegula is currently the fifth racket of the world. This year, she played only nine matches on the tour, of which seven were victorious. Let's remind, at the beginning of the season, Jessica celebrated the finals of the tournament in Adelaide.
Interesting facts for betting
- Eight of Pegula's nine matches since the start of the season have ended in two sets.
- In two matches in Doha involving Pegula, more than ten games were played in the second game.

This is how events unfolded in three of Alexandrova's five previous matches.
2.21Tip and bets
Alexandrova is currently at the peak of her form, but today, as in the match against Mertens, she receives the status of an underdog from bookmakers. Meanwhile, Pegula, in her fights against Svitolina and Kasatkina, was not notable for her stable actions on serve, allowing her rivals to return to the game. Plus, Ekaterina knows how to play against Jessica, as she beat her a year ago on the hard court in Miami. We believe that today the Russian tennis player is capable of at least imposing a tight fight on the fifth racket of the world.
Our forecast is that Alexandrova will win with a handicap of (+3) games with a coefficient of 1.88

A year ago, the tennis players played hard court in Miami and exchanged sets in that meeting. We look forward to a close and equal game in Doha today.
