Kasatkina Hoping for some Reprieve before the US Open

World No. 26 Daria Kasatkina has had a pretty remarkable season so far, considering that back in January she was ranking in the early 70s.

She made this leap possible after winning the titles in the Phillip Island Trophy and St. Petersburg Trophy – her first such feat in over two and a half years. Later, the 24-year-old Kasatkina also reached the final in the Birmingham Classic where she fell to Ons Jabeur.

The Russian has also delivered a similar performance in the recent weeks, most notably in the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose where she was the runner-up – this time losing to Danielle Collins.

However, in the subsequent tournaments of the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Masters, the former top 10 player fell right in the early rounds. In fact, there are many such instances in her 2021 season where she has succumbed in the opening few matches, often to players ranked well above her.

But here in the Tennis in the Land in Cleveland, Kasatkina is starting as the top seed and has a relatively comfortable path to the final.

Juvan, Fresh Off a Doubles Title in Romania

Unlike Kasatkina who has featured in a handful of the US Open tune-up events, this is Kaja Juvan’s first American tournament in recent weeks.

Earlier this month, she featured in the Winners Open in  Cluj-Napoca, Romania where she won the doubles title with Natale Dzalamidze. Juvan also participated in the singles draw but fell in the second round to Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

Currently ranked World No. 111, the 20-year-old hasn’t had that phenomenal of a year although, for a short while, she was in the top 100. Her big hits include a third-round appearance in the Wimbledon and Australian Open where she defeated the likes of Johanna Konta and Belinda Bencic.

Kasatkina v Juvan Prediction and Tip

Kasatkina is far more attuned to the American conditions and given her overall form, experience, and pedigree, she shouldn’t face any difficulties in reaching round two in Cleveland.
