Clara Tauson defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova 7(8)-6(6), 4-6, 6-3 — Monterrey Open 2026 R16.
Ekaterina Alexandrova and Clara Tauson: Clara Tauson leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Top-seeded Alexandrova is out of the Monterrey Open in the round of 16, though the ranking gap oversells the surprise — the betting market had made Tauson the narrow favorite at 53%. Ten double faults undercut a serve that otherwise produced 11 aces and saved eight of nine break points. Tauson converted one of nine break chances, and it was the one that settled things: a break in game 6 of the third for 4-2. The 23-year-old Dane, who opened the year at WTA No. 14 and arrived 10-11 on hard courts, saw one match point saved before converting another at 2 hours 28 minutes to book a quarterfinal.
