Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2) for Kasatkina – 2.22.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.54.
Daria Kasatkina had a busy week in San Jose. She got the title in a tough battle. She played three sets in three of the five matches played. An upcoming match is a match against an uncomfortable opponent. Andreescu has beaten Daria twice and she will be extremely motivated to perform as well as possible at her home tournament.
In their face-to-face meeting on hard court, which took place in Toronto, the rivals had to play three sets to determine the winner. We expect a tough encounter today as well.
Kasatkina won the title in San Jose last week. Thanks to that, Daria updated her ranking record. She is now 9th in the world.
Kasatkina had a great tournament and in the final, she defeated Shelby Rogers (6-7, 6-1, 6-2). Daria lost the first set on a tie-break but lost only three games in the next two sets.
It is also worth noting that Kasatkina defeated Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina (1-6, 6-2, 6-0), Aryna Sabalenka (4-6, 7-5, 6-0) and Paula Badosa (6-2, 6-4) in San Jose.
Kasatkina is in the top 3 in wins and points this season.
Kasatkina has won 8 of her last 9 first-round matches.
Andreescu also played in San Jose but, unlike Kasatkina, did not make it past a single round.
In the first match, Bianca lost to future finalist Shelby Rogers (4-6, 2-6,). The former world №4 had a weak game overall, taking a total of six games.
At Wimbledon, Andreescu lost in the second round to Elena Rybakina (4-6, 6-7), who eventually took the title.
Still, Bianca has had some good tournaments since her return to the tour. She reached the quarter-finals in Rome in May and reached the final in Bad Homburg in June.
Andreescu has won seven of her last eight matches played in Toronto.
In three of Kasatkina’s five previous matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.77.
