Ekaterina Alexandrova has faced a turbulent season, with a career baseline hovering around 56% on hard courts. Currently, she is on a declining trend, having lost a crucial match to Naomi Osaka in Bad Homburg, which followed a series of wins that seemed to stabilize her form. As she enters this match, her performance on grass has been inconsistent, with the last ten matches yielding no recent wins, indicating a struggle to find her rhythm.
Her recent victories against lower-ranked opponents like L. Tararudee and P. Udvardy at Wimbledon provided a brief spark. However, she must address her recent defeat before facing Jovana Jovic, whose recent form shows promise. Alexandrova's historical performance at Wimbledon suggests she can elevate her game, but the pressure is mounting as she seeks to regain her footing in the tournament.
