Playing Styles & Prediction
Kasatkina has really found her feet again this season and looked in solid form on the US hard courts, but perhaps paid for that with a first-round defeat at the US Open to Britain’s Harriet Dart. In her first match since then, she will face the big hitting of Raducanu, who reached a first semi-final since her win at the US Open last year.
But the ever-present injury niggles reared their head once more, so Raducanu’s fitness will once more be under the microscope, and with a player who can inject such intelligent variety as Kasatkina, it will be a challenge.
Prediction: Kasatkina in three sets.
