Command Analysis
Ekaterina Alexandrova
Russian FederationCurrent form
On the way to Monterrey, Alexandrova was not at all impressive, neither in terms of her game nor her results. Ekaterina had a series of three defeats in a row. Including, she lost to her today's opponent Yuan Yue in the first round in Paris at the Olympic Games (5-7, 7-6, 2-6). At the start in Mexico, the Russian had not the most formidable Zarazua, whom she managed to beat in two sets (6-3, 6-4). You can't ignore Ekaterina's 17 aces, she obviously adapted to the local courts right away.

Alexandrova has a powerful first serve in her arsenal, which is very effective on fast courts. We could see this in the opening match with Sarasua with 17 aces. In addition, Ekaterina loves and knows how to play ahead, break through on rising balls and not give her opponents time to think.
