Last week in Abu Dhabi, Kasatkina was unable to prove herself, she was defeated at the start by Kruger (6-1, 5-7, 4-6). Daria is still playing flawlessly in Doha, passing Polina Kudermetova (6-0, 6-0) and Elina Avanesyan (6-2, 6-3) without any problems. In these fights, she took advantage of the experience and acted much more stable than her rivals on the back line.
