Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Coco Gauff Tips

The American has won the last couple of head to head meetings in straight sets against Ekaterina Alexandrova and I fancy she is ticking along nicely at Roland Garros as we enter the second week. Three of the four head to head meetings were Gauff wins and I fancy the American wins this last sixteen encounter.

Alexandrova has yet to drop a set in this tournament while her opponent's forehand looked shaky on her last match. Alexandrova should exploit her opponent's forehand inconsistencies and prevail here.

Coco Gauff, who is 2nd placed on the WTA list, and 20th placed Ekaterina Alexandrova, have three wins and one lost match. All four matches ended in two sets.

Two excellent clay courters, and I feel it will be a real battle for this Round of 16. Coco leads 3-1 in head-to-heads, winning the last two in straight sets, but this will be the first time they have met on clay. Coco to win in three sets.
