If we assume that Madison Keys dominated January this year, the same can be seemingly said about Ekaterina Alexandrova in February. After already winning the Ladies Linz Open, she has now taken down Raducanu, Sabalenka, and Mertens in Doha. Adding to that list, she defeated Jessica Pegula in three sets and storms through to the semi-finals against Amanda Anisimova.
One statistic says it all. In the last two sets, the former multiple doubles champion from Russia found her rhythm again. She dropped just two games, winning 50 of the 78 points played.
