Kasatkina is the favourite in this derby. Daria is more confident on her way through the tournament, plays with a minimum of unforced errors and is clearly at the peak of her form. Moreover, Kasatkina has won their only head-to-head match.
Kasatkina’s streak of two-set matches has clearly dragged on. At the same time, Kudermetova had three sets in three of her five previous matches.
Kudermetova reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.
In the fourth round, Veronica scored a strong win over Madison Keys (1-6, 6-3. 6-1). Madison took the first set but after that, she won only in four games.
In the third round, Kudermetova played against Paula Badosa (6-3, 2-1, Walkover). Here she was a little bit lucky. Because of a knee problem, Paula hardly played the first set, and at the beginning of the second set she withdrew.

Daria herself claims that all her recent successes are due to a miracle racket. She’s finally managed to find a racket that allows her to control her strokes as clearly as possible.
