Gauff vs Kasatkina: prediction for the WTA Stuttgart match
On April 19, Cori Gauff will take on Daria Kasatkina for the first round match of Stuttgart tournament. Who will get the victory? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Cori Gauff

In 2022, Cori Gauff strengthened her positions in Top-20 and at the current moment she is at the 16th spot in the world rankings. Not a bad result for an 18-year old American player. She performed well at Adelaide, where she reached the semifinals, and at Doha, where she made it to the quarterfinals.
Gauff is yet to play on clay courts in the current season. She will also play at Stuttgart for the first time in her career. However, a surface on local court should fit her aggressive style of play.

Daria Kasatkina

Since the start of the year Daria Kasatkina won 11 of 18 matches on tour. Not a bad result for the World No. 26 player. But her recent results and level of performance are quite concerning. In latest tournaments at Miami and Indian Wells Kasatkina has won only one match. And even that victory over the lower-ranked Volynets was tough to get (6:4, 4:6, 7:5). Russian player was defeated by Kerber and Sasnovich at these tournaments.
Kasatkina is not so successful at Stuttgart. In three latest competitions here she won only one match.
