Ekaterina Alexandrova enters this US Open first-round matchup as the clear favorite, holding the No. 18-19 ranking against McCartney Kessler’s No. 65 while leading their head-to-head 1-0 after a straight-sets hard-court win in Ningbo last October. Alexandrova’s stronger recent hard-court results, including quarterfinal appearances in Toronto and competitive showings in Cincinnati, contrast with Kessler’s mixed 2026 form marked by early exits in Cincinnati and Toronto plus limited success against top-20 opponents. Both players arrive on the back of hard-court tune-ups, with no reported injuries or withdrawals altering the draw. The American’s home-crowd support and prior Grand Slam experience offer limited upside against Alexandrova’s superior ranking, serve consistency on the surface, and proven edge in direct meetings.
