Head-to-head
Andreeva has never defeated Alexandrova: Alexandrova leads 2-0, with one victory in Stuttgart in 2025 and another in Bad Homburg in 2026. The scores of these matches are not provided.
Their predictive value is limited because they were played under different conditions; Alexandrova herself emphasizes that the balance of power can change depending on the match and the surface.
