Prediction: Ekaterina Alexandrova VS Elisabetta Cocciaretto 2025-05-28

The Roland Garros Round of 64 is heating up, and we've got a fascinating matchup between No. 20-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova and No. 89-ranked Elisabetta Cocciaretto. The odds are heavily in favor of Alexandrova, with a -325 moneyline compared to Cocciaretto's +240.

Alexandrova is coming off a dominant 6-3, 6-2 win over Lucia Bronzetti in the first round, marking a successful return to action after a month-long hiatus due to a right shoulder injury. The 30-year-old Russian has a wealth of experience, with five WTA singles titles under her belt and a career-best fourth-round finish at Wimbledon in 2023.

Cocciaretto, on the other hand, is a relatively untested opponent, ranked 89th in the world. While she may have some tricks up her sleeve, the odds suggest that Alexandrova's experience and skill will give her the upper hand.

My best bet for this matchup is Ekaterina Alexandrova to win, with a recommended moneyline bet at -325. The spread betting options also look appealing, with Alexandrova -4.5 games at +1.87 (BetOnline.ag) or -4.5 games at +1.71 (BetMGM) offering decent value. However, given Alexandrova's strong recent form and Cocciaretto's relative inexperience, I'm confident that the Russian will take this one in straight sets.
