This is Alexandrova’s fifth victory against tennis players from the top 5 of the WTA rankings in her career. In 2024, the Russian athlete for the second time beat an opponent from the top five of the world rankings – earlier she defeated Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals of the WTA-500 tournament in Adelaide (Australia). Rybakina then took third place in the world rankings.
In the next round, Alexandrova will meet the fifth racket in the world, the American Jessica Pegula. The match will take place on March 27.
