Ekaterina Alexandrova and Laura Siegemund: Laura Siegemund leads 2–1 across 3 recorded meetings.
Laura Siegemund, ranked No. 46, knocked out the No. 14 seed by simply taking her return chances: she converted 8 of 13 break points (62%) while Ekaterina Alexandrova managed just 5 of 17 (29%). The favourite's serve cracked under the pressure — nine double faults and a 49% first-serve rate handed Siegemund cheap looks all afternoon. After dropping the second-set tiebreak 7-4, Siegemund reset to win the decider 6-1, breaking at will. In their first clay meeting, the H2H edge stretches to 2-1.
