Command Analysis

Peyton Stearns

Current form
Stearns has quickly broken into the top 50 of the world rankings. The American's recent successes in hard tournaments have been significant. In Toronto and Cleveland, we recall, she made it to the quarterfinals. In the first round of the US Open, Peyton beat Tsurenko in two sets (6-1, 7-5). In the second set of that match, she lost the threads of the game at the start, gave up her serve, but returned in time.
Professional qualities
The American tennis player is distinguished by her fast movement around the court, covers the strike zones well and at the same time is constantly aiming for an attack at the first opportunity. Stearns feels uncomfortable on the baseline and tries to finish rallies as quickly as possible, sometimes taking unjustified risks.
Current indicators in the tour
Stearns is currently ranked 47th in the world. Unlike many of her compatriots, she plays well on clay. However, on hard courts, Peyton has a negative record of 10 wins and 12 losses.
Interesting facts for betting

- At the US Open, the American tennis player must defend her ranking points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year

Daria Kasatkina

Current form
Kasatkina had a very hard time switching to hard. In Washington and Toronto, she lost in the opening matches, and only in Cincinnati did she get through one round. Nevertheless, Daria gained game condition, judging by the first round match in New York against Christian (6-2, 6-4). In that match, she managed to work quite reliably on her serve – her opponent had only four break points, of which she converted two. Kasatkina herself once again worked excellently on the reception, gaining 54% of the points.
Professional qualities
Darya is famous for her defensive tactics, and has spinning strikes that are inconvenient for many opponents. We should also note her ability to break the tems when exchanging strikes. At the same time, serving has never been her strong point, although some progress in this component is observed.
Current indicators in the tour
Throughout the season, Kasatkina has maintained her position near the top 10. Today, she is the 13th racket in the world. On hard courts, Daria has not had the most outstanding results since the beginning of the year – 14 wins and 11 losses.
Interesting facts for betting
- Kasatkina won both personal meetings with Stearns on hard courts
- Daria has won her last four victories on the tour with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.

2.21Tip and bets
The tennis players are very familiar with each other's playing style, as their tournament paths crossed four times. Kasatkina won three times, and two of her victories were on hard courts. In general, Daria has a more solid technical arsenal, she will obviously try to draw Stearns into protracted rallies and force her to make mistakes. We believe that, first of all, due to the right tactical decisions on the court, the Russian tennis player will break through to the third round today.
