Ekaterina Alexandrova Looks to Reset in Melbourne
Ekaterina Alexandrova has made a slow start to the season, picking up just one win across Brisbane and Adelaide. She fell to Karolina Muchova and Jaqueline Cristian, a dip from last year’s high standards.
That drop is notable given her excellent 2025 campaign. Alexandrova reached eight semifinals, beat ten top-20 players, and broke into the top 10 for the first time.
She now turns to the Australian Open, where she has lost in the first round in her last two appearances, going down to Laura Siegemund and Emma Raducanu.

Zeynep Sonmez Finds Fresh Start Through Qualifying
Zeynep Sonmez endured a frustrating 2025 season, struggling to turn promise into results. Despite climbing to a career-high No. 69 in October, largely on the back of her 2024 Merida title points, she finished the year with a 10–13 record in tour-level main draws.
She has responded positively in Melbourne. The Turkish player booked her place in the Australian Open main draw with three straight-set wins in qualifying, including convincing victories over Julia Riera and Anastasia Gasanova.
Sonmez now looks to build on that momentum at the Australian Open. She is chasing a second-round appearance at a major for the third time, after doing so at Wimbledon and the US Open last year.

Verdict
Despite a less-than-ideal lead-up, the matchup still points toward Andreeva holding the upper hand. Her baseline consistency and proven level should outweigh any lingering doubts, giving her the edge to navigate this contest successfully.
