World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty is up against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the third-round match of Australian Open 2021. The encounter takes place at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park on Saturday (February 13). Barty has been in red-hot form after returning to competitive action last week. After clinching the Yarra Valley Classic title, the 24-year-old Aussie star built on the momentum with two good wins in the year’s first Grand Slam event. On the other hand, Russia’s Ekaterina Alexandrova has also impressed in the previous round, but upsetting Barty would be a daunting task for her.

Notably, Barty and Alexandrova have never played each other on the WTA Tour and their first meeting would be one to watch out for.

Be it unleashing heavy groundstrokes or mixing them up with slices, Barty have several potent weapons in her armoury, and the Russian has to be at the top of her A-game to put up a fight.
