Fourth seed Alexandra Eala will face Poland's Katarzyna Kawa in the first round of the WTA 125 event in Suzhou with Eala having a 37-21 record this season, with her best result coming at a Challenger event in Guadalajara, where she won the title with a 1-5, 7-5, 6-3 win over Panna Udvardy in the final.

Alexandra Eala has had some exceptional results on the main Tour as well, such as reaching the semifinal of the Miami Open with wins over the likes of Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, and Iga Swiatek, before losing against Jessica Pegula, and also reaching the final of the Eastbourne International as a qualifier, where she lost against Maya Joint.

Katarzyna Kawa has a 30-23 win-loss record this year, with the Pole's best outing coming at the ITF event in Bastad, where she reached the final, losing 3-6, 4-6 against Elisabetta Cocciaretto and also had a run to the final as a qualifier at the Copa Colsanitas on the main Tour, losing 3-6, 3-6 to the home favorite Camila Osorio.

Alexandra Eala vs Katarzyna Kawa prediction

Eala's only main-Tour level final has come on the grass at Eastbourne, but the Filipino player has a hard-court title on the Challenger Tour, which she won in Guadalajara this year, and also has five hard-court titles from eight finals on the ITF Tour, the last of which came in Spain in 2024.

Kawa's WTA finals have come on clay, along with both her Challenger-level finals also coming on the dirt, with the Pole having only one professional hard-court title to her name, which she won at an ITF event in Egypt back in 2018, winning against Zhang Kailin in the final.

Eala is the firm favorite to win the upcoming match as she is the more in-form player and is better on hard courts compared to her opponent.

Pick- Eala to win in straight sets

But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
