Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20.5 – 1.70.
Sakkari has beaten Alexandrova in four of their five head-to-head encounters. However, today Sakkari is far from her optimum form, obviously not yet fully recovered from her injury. Ekaterina is now at the peak of her form, after the semifinals in Madrid she started in Rome and is ready to continue her success.

Ekaterina Alexandrova:
Ekaterina Alexandrova is in great form. Since April, after switching to the clay, the Russian tennis player has won 12 out of 15 games. Last week in Madrid, she managed to reach the semi-finals from the qualifiers.
In Rome, Ekaterina never lost her tempo and in the opening match crushed Sloane Stephens (6-1, 6-2). The game was completely under the control of Ekaterina, who with her aggression and courage left no chance for her opponent.

Maria Sakkari:
Maria Sakkari’s play and results have slowed considerably recently. She began to suffer a setback in Miami, where she lost to Beatriz Haddad Maia (6-4, 1-6, 2-6) at the start. Then, there was the withdrawal due to injury in Stuttgart. Obviously, world #4 came to Madrid in a sub-optimal shape. She narrowly defeated Madison Keys (6-7, 6-3, 6-4) before losing to Daria Kasatkina (6-3, 3-6, 1-6).
In Rome last year, Maria came up short against Coco Gauff (1-6, 6-1, 1-6) in the second round. With her recent failures, it will clearly be difficult for Sakkari to count on a successful performance in the Italian capital this year.
