Prediction: Ekaterina will win the match with a game handicap of +5.5. Alexandrova had a successful tournament in Linz, showing great form, and also won her opening match in Doha. On the other hand, Sabalenka has not played since her defeat in the final of the 2023 Australian Open and lacks match practice. Additionally, Aryna has had trouble holding on to a 5.5 game handicap in the past, as shown in previous matches. It is expected that Alexandrova will win this match due to her form and strong preparation.
