Command Analysis
Daria Kasatkina
AustraliaAfter a quarter-final at Roland Garros in 2018, Daria Kasatkina lost twice in the second round of this tournament. But in both first round matches Daria had a very good performance and claimed victories in straight sets, though her opponents were too weak for her.
During this year, Kasatkina had an unsuccessful performance on clay tournaments. On three of four those tournaments she managed to advance through the first round. Her most recent performance was at the Rome tournament. There she easily advanced through the first round, but then lost in a close match to Sloane Stephens (6:1, 4:6, 5:7).
Misaki Doi
JapanMisaki Doi is unsuccessful on clay throughout her entire career. She has 51 wins and 57 losses on that surface. And 2021 season is not any better.
Doi participated on six clay tournaments this season and managed to win only three matches. Two of those victories were recorded in the qualification for Madrid tournament.
Misaki is not performing great at Roland Garros. Her last two trips to Paris ended with defeats in the first round.

Tip and bets
Japanese player lost to Russia representative in the head-to-head match on hard surface. We don't think that Doi will be able to win on clay. Kasatkina is looking great on that surface and she should feel pretty comfortable against a not so physically strong opponent. We offer a prediction on confident start for Daria.
Our prediction - Kasatkina to win with a handicap of (-5) games
In her most recent match against Stevens, Russian player claimed the first set without any problems, but then relaxed a little bit and eventually lost the match. We think that Daria learned her lesson and now will secure a victory in straight sets.
Our second bet is on total under 20 games
