While Andreeva is ranked No. 5 and has had an outstanding season—highlighted by a Roland Garros title—her volatility on hard courts and recent struggles in quarter-finals favor Alexandrova as a value pick for this matchup.

Mirra Andreeva vs Ekaterina Alexandrova WTA Beijing Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Ekaterina Alexandrova has a 2-0 record over Mirra Andreeva and won three of her last four matches vs top 10 opponents - she looks good value for an upset in Thursday night's China Open quarter-final showdown in Beijing.
Alexandrova is one of the more enigmatic players on tour - she's capable of beating anyone (22 top 10 wins throughout her career attest to that), but she's also prone to going on long losing runs.
But right now, Alexandrova is on the upward trend and she warrants a speculative play in this matchup.
Andreeva obviously has the far higher ceiling and is already a major champion, but she can still throw in the odd loose match and she hasn't made a hardcourt semi-final since January.
The 19-year-old remains volatile and can implode when things aren't going her way - facing a player who has beaten her twice means she's susceptible to another potential meltdown here.
Alexandrova is extremely tough to stop with her powerful baseline game when she builds this sort of momentum, so I don't mind taking a punt on the elder Russian in this spot.

Mirra Andreeva Form Analysis
- 2026 WTA Record: 48-15
- WTA Beijing Record: 10-3
- Current Ranking: No. 5
- Career-High Ranking: No. 5 (July 2026)
It's been a great year for Andreeva - she put together a magical clay swing in which she registered a 22-3 match record, including claiming her maiden major title at Roland Garros.
We already knew Andreeva was a serious talent, but winning a Grand Slam as a teenager only enhanced her credentials as a generational talent.
The 19-year-old has won 48 matches for the year, which is only behind Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula.
Andreeva will be hoping to find her best tennis ahead of the WTA Finals - it wasn't a great start to the Asian swing as she went down in her second match in Singapore to Leylah Fernandez, but she's won six straight sets in Beijing to make the quarter-finals after dropping the opening set of her first round to wildcard Yue Yuan.
The World No. 5 came back with a bang to win that match 3-6 6-0 6-0 before dismantling Polina Kudermetova 6-4 6-1 and Daria Snigur 6-2 6-2.
Ekaterina Alexandrova Form Analysis
- 2026 WTA Record: 20-22
- WTA Beijing Record: 5-4
- Current Ranking: No. 28
- Career-High Ranking: No. 10 (Oct 2025)
It's been the usual rollercoaster year for Alexandrova.
This time last year she broke into the top 10 for the first time, but she failed to win more than one match in 14 of her opening 15 tournaments of 2026.
That's why she's dropped out of the top 20.
However, Alexandrova has improved over the last couple of months - she's gone 13-7 in her last 20 matches, including making a WTA 1000 quarter-final in Toronto and now doing the same in Beijing.
Alexandrova had lost in the first round in her last three China Open appearances, but has found her form this time around, dropping just one set on her way to the last eight - including a 6-2 6-2 demolition of Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova in the R16. Earlier, the 31-year-old beat Alikasandra Sasnovich and Diana Shnaider.
