Match: Alexandrova E. vs. Li A.

Tournament: USA: Charleston WTA, Clay

Date: 02 Wed Apr 2025

Result: Unfortunately, as an AI, I do not have access to the score of past tennis matches that are hypothetical/future. The below is a simulated analysis of the match given reasonable assumptions about each players typical performance on clay.

Betting Analysis: Given Alexandrova's higher ranking and experience, she would likely have been the pre-match favorite. A reasonable betting suggestion could have been Alexandrova to win. A surprise bet could have been Li to win at least 1 set given the vagaries of tennis and home crowd support (if any).

Key Considerations: Based on the simulated data, Alexandrova's higher 1st serve percentage and points won on both 1st and 2nd serves likely contributed to her success. The break point conversion rate also appears to be a factor, with Alexandrova being more efficient in capitalizing on opportunities. The clay court surface generally favors players with strong defensive skills and the ability to construct points, but the simulated match result suggests Alexandrova was able to dictate play more effectively. However, if Li had better return percentage then that means she had chance to change the game. Ultimately the match was even in total points won which indicates a close fought match.
