For the opponents, tonight is the moment of truth. A second successive defeat will largely mean that there will be no chance of making the playoffs. Kasatkina has beaten Gauff twice in her career. Corey herself has not impressed with her performance at the start acted not very aggressively in the game with Garcia and made a lot of mistakes. We think Daria will have a chance to win.
In none of the head-to-head encounters have the tennis players played more than 18 games.
Corey Gauff has put herself in good form for the start of her debut Final tournament. In recent tournaments in San Diego and Guadalajara, she managed to reach the quarterfinals. However, world #3 did not make a good start in Fort Worth.
Gauff had a weak first match, losing to Caroline Garcia (4-6, 3-6).
Corey made too many mistakes on her serve, allowing Caroline to capitalise on four break points.
Corey won only 54% of her points on the first ball. With such a rate, it is extremely difficult to count on anything.
Before the WTA Finals, Gauff won two matches at a major tournament in Guadalajara. In the quarterfinals, she lost to Victoria Azarenka (6-4, 6-7, 3-6).
In San Diego, Corey also failed to reach the quarterfinals as she was stopped by Iga Swiatek (0-6, 3-6).
In ten of Gauff’s previous 13 matches, there had been exactly two sets.
Kasatkina, too, started the final tournament with a defeat. However, in her case, it didn’t surprise anyone at all.
Daria was defeated by Iga Swiatek (2:6, 3:6). He lost to Swiatek player for the fifth time this season, taking only 19 games in total.
Another meeting confirmed that Kasatkina and Swiatek are on different levels. There’s not much to comment on here, Iga just plays better, that’s all.
After her victory in Granby at the end of August, Kasatkina had never advanced beyond the second round.
Kasatkina has lost in five of the past eight matches.
