Alexandra Eala enters the US Open second-round matchup against Oleksandra Oliynykova as the clear market favorite, buoyed by her No. 18 ranking, 17th-seed status, and recent hard-court momentum that includes a first WTA title in Washington and a Wimbledon fourth-round run. The 21-year-old left-hander dispatched American qualifier Mary Stoiana 6-1, 6-2 in her opener on Louis Armstrong Stadium, where strong crowd support could provide an additional edge. Oliynykova, ranked No. 46, arrives with solid 2026 results including a career-high near the top 50 and a straight-sets first-round win over Reese Brantmeier, yet her lone prior victory over Eala came on clay in Strasbourg. The faster hard-court surface favors Eala’s aggressive baseline game and should limit the defensive Ukrainian’s opportunities to repeat that result.
