Despite not having played as much as Kasatkina, Dart is just marginally behind her, but Kasatkina has had the form in the US hard court swing, leading up to the US Open, starting with the title in San Jose and reaching the final in Granby.
Playing Styles & Prediction
Kasatkina’s strength is to mix things up to keep her opponents guessing, with slices, lobs and great movement, and has great court smarts, although at times she has beaten herself in matches. However, she is playing with a lot more confidence at the moment.
Dart might be small, but she can pound away with a lot of pace and aggression, although she lacks the experience and variety, she will fight to the last point, which could be frustrating.
Prediction: Kasatkina in three sets
