H2H History

Alexandrova won both meetings against Sasnovich in straight sets. The matches were 2017 St. Petersburg and a 2019 challenger match in Limoges. This will be the first match on grass.

Randy’s Pick

Sasnovich is serving well and that gives her a fighting chance in this match. However, Alexandrova is simply the better player across the board, and she’s had no issues with Sasnovich in past meetings, even if those matches were years ago. 

Alexandrova should roll here, and I’ll back her in straight sets to shave the potential juice.
