Daria Kasatkina vs Emma Raducanu Prediction and Betting Tips (21.09.2024)

Command Analysis

Daria Kasatkina

Australia

Current form

Kasatkina did not play the hard series of tournaments in the USA in the best way and there were fears in the betting tips that she would have difficulties at the start in Seoul. However, Daria played quite confidently in the match with Baptiste, drew her opponent into her game, forced her to constantly make mistakes and achieved victory in two sets (6-4, 6-2). In her usual style, the Russian tennis player had a noticeable advantage on the reception, made six breaks.

Professional qualities

Darya builds her game from defense, tries to draw her opponents into protracted exchanges of blows and force them to make mistakes. Kasatkina is very resilient, ready for long battles on the court, works her legs well, and keeps up with the most difficult blows. At the same time, she has a weak serve, which many opponents try to take advantage of.

Current indicators in the tour

Kasatkina's season is uneven, but she has won one title. At the end of June, she won the grass trophy in Eastbourne, at the same time, by the way, she beat her current opponent Raducana (6-2, 6-2) in the tournament grid.

Raducanu started in Seoul from the first round and played two matches. At the start, she had a difficult match against Stearns, where she managed to snatch victory only in two tie-breaks. In the second round, Emma dealt with Yuan Yue more confidently (6-4, 6-3). It should be noted that the British tennis player did not always work convincingly on her serve, the same Yuan Yue made three breaks.

Professional qualities

Emma is a fairly versatile tennis player, she can work reliably on the back line, but she still prefers to attack and not hold long rallies. We note her good ability to hit along the line from the forehand and backhand.

Injuries prevent Emma from showing her full potential. She has been playing an inconsistent season, currently with 20 wins and 12 losses. At the same time, Raducanu has won nine out of 16 matches on open hard courts.

Tip and bets

2.05Kasatkina's Victory

Kasatkina started the tournament in Seoul with confidence, caught her game, worked reliably on the back line in the game with Baptiste. Ahead of Daria is a match against a convenient opponent. The Russian has beaten Raducana twice in her career, and did so in two sets. It is unlikely that anything will change in the balance of power today. Kasatkina is capable of drawing Emma into her game with protracted rallies, in which the British player often loses concentration, gets nervous and starts making mistakes.

Our prediction is Kasatkina's victory with odds of 2.05
