Iga Swiatek vs Ekaterina Alexandrova: Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds for the Tennis match - 21.09.2025

The 2025 Korea Open WTA 500 final in Seoul will see Iga Świątek, the World No. 2, take on Ekaterina Alexandrova. Location of the match will be Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center and it is the tournament decider and offers ranking points and confidence for the Asian swing. Earlier this week, Świątek was overwhelming and four matches into the tournament, she reached the final after two wins in one day; Meanwhile, Alexandrova has been consistent and overcame Katerina Siniakova for Sunday’s title fight. This meeting of the two is significant in terms of rankings and betting markets looking for value from recent form.

🇵🇱 Iga Swiatek

Iga Świątek (No. 2 WTA) has been playing great at the Seoul tournament, winning a rescheduled quarter-final (6-0, 6-3 vs. Barbora Krejčíková) and later defeating Maya Joint 6-0, 6-2 in the semis on the same day — a rare double-header victory that shows her physical readiness and concentration. On outdoor hard courts, Świątek’s playing style is a combination of her heavy, deep groundstrokes with good coverage and an aggressive return game that usually allows her to have the first attack in the rally. She has been able to show the power to close short points and the patience to construct her points against the likes of counterpunchers this week. She is, moreover, aiming at another trophy for this season. It is highly probable that she would attempt to dominate by first-strike tennis (rally shortening) and exploit the weakness in Alexandrova’s flatter shots for making further points.

🇷🇺 Ekaterina Alexandrova

Ekaterina Alexandrova (near World No. 11) is coming with a strong win in the semifinals against Katerina Siniakova (6-4, 6-2) to the final. Alexandrova is a powerful groundstroke player from the baseline who uses her flat and deep groundstrokes as well as her service that is usually very effective to make her especially dangerous on faster hard courts; if she is timing the ball very well then she can easily take speed off her opponents' preparation and end the points quickly. She has gathered very good results on hard courts this season (including WTA level titles and big tournament runs), in fact, she showed that she can defeat the top players if she has her day. In the final, the problem will be to keep up that high standard against Świątek's thoroughness and court coverage - Alexandrova has to remain attacking but at the same time not giving free points on her serve.
