Command Analysis

Daria Kasatkina

Current form
Kasatkina has not demonstrated consistent results at the Asian hard series. In Seoul, Daria made it to the semifinals, but was unable to build on her success. In Beijing and Wuhan, she made it through one round each and hung up her racket. She lost her last match in Wuhan to Magda Linett, 2-6, 3-6.
Professional qualities
Kasatkina relies on a reliable game on the back line with a minimum number of unforced errors. Due to her endurance and speed, Daria is able to get the most difficult balls, plus she has an excellent return. At the same time, the tennis player acts unconvincingly on her serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Daria is currently ranked 11th in the world and has not lost hope of finishing in the top 10 by the end of the season. She has played 34 matches on open hard courts, winning 15 of them.

Katerina Siniakova

Current form
Siniakova has not been performing well in Asia this year. She has already played three tournaments – she has never made it past more than one round in the draw. In the first round in Ningbo, the Czech tennis player confidently beat Linette in two sets (6-2, 6-4). Despite such a convincing score, Kateryna gave up her serve three times and made four double faults.
Professional qualities
The Czech tennis player is one of the best doubles players on tour, so she has excellent skills at the net. At the same time, Katerina makes a lot of mistakes on the back line and cannot always maintain a high tempo when exchanging blows.
Current indicators in the tour
Sinyakova has not demonstrated stable results throughout the season, although she plays a lot. On open hard courts, she does not have the most impressive statistics – 15 wins and 14 losses. Katerina is ranked 42nd in the world rankings.

2.21Tip and bets
Sinyakova played one match in Ningbo, in which, despite a convincing score, she did not demonstrate a stable game. Kasatkina is now motivated by the battle for a place in the top ten and after not the most successful previous tournaments, she will clearly try to prove herself now. Daria has beaten Katerina four times in her career, she is able to play more reliably on the back line than the Czech, which today could be the key to success.
