Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich WTA Linz Prediction: Compatriots Battle For Quarters

• Prediction: Aliaksandra Sasnovich +3.5 Games
• Best Odds: -105
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on January 30, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Let me tell you what a -200 line does for me. Pinnacle is showing +170 odds for Sasnovich to pull off this upset and it is taking everything in me not to post that as the bet to make.

Fading Alexandrova is fun for me and I have no issue doing it again with the quarterfinals on the line. Alexandrova might be ranked 30th on the WTA Tour but let’s see where that number lands when we arrive at the end of the campaign!! 

Here is my call and it comes in at 51st when the Asian swing finishes the 2025 campaign. The 30-year-old 4-seed has one win since October of last season and the 1 – 3 start to the season has been less than impressive to me.

It is hard to get past the 149th ranking for Sasnovich who hasn’t been smooth in this event despite the three wins at Linz. Sasnovich has played 72 games in three outings in Austria and this game total should be a consideration as an alternate bet.

With a 21 showing on the total, the -115 offer could be combo-material or just an additional bet from this match. I see one of these sets going to a tie-break and the first set Over 10.5 games is listed at +310! Wouldn’t it be great to cash that bet early?  

Regardless, I have Sasnovich covering the +3.5 games at -105 so make that your main bet from this second-round affair.

EKATERINA ALEXANDROVA RECENT FORM

Ekaterina Alexandrova is 1 – 3 in 2025 and finished the 2024 campaign losing her last two outings.

Alexandrova clung to a top-30 spot in the WTA Rankings with a 26 – 25 record in 2024. That 1 – 7 record on the dirt should be kept in mind as we approach the clay swing of the WTA Tour soon.

ALIAKSANDRA SASNOVICH RECENT FORM

Aliaksandra Sasnovich is now 30-years-old and the aging veteran hasn’t won a tournament at any level since 2013.

Sasnovich went 25 – 23 in 2024 and is 4 – 2 to start the 2025 campaign because of three wins this week at Linz.

ALEXANDROVA VS SASNOVICH HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Ekaterina Alexandrova and Aliaksandra Sasnovich have met five times on the WTA Tour since 2017.

Alexandrova won the first four meetings and Sasnovich finally defeated her compatriot at Madrid on the red clay last season.

The winner of this match will face Petra Martic or Elina Avanesyan in the quarterfinals of the Upper Austria Ladies Linz event.
