Daria Kasatkina vs Tereza Martincova. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Birmingham Classic

Daria Kasatkina failed to put up a competent performance at the Roland Garros, where she was beaten in the third round by Sorana Cirstea (3:6, 2:6). But transition to the grass turned out to be pretty successful for the Russian player.

In Birmingham she had some problems with adaptation in the first round match against Polona Hercog (4:6, 6:3, 6:3). In the second round Daria quite easily took the victory over Marta Kostyuk (6:2, 7:5), but almost created problems for herself in the second set, barely avoiding a tiebreak.

Hardly anyone could predict that Tereza Martincova would reach the quarter-final of Birmingham tournament. Ranked 90th in WTA rankings started the competition from the qualification, where she played two matches. After that Czech player won two matches in the main draw.

She easily beat Samantha Stosur, who has been without a match practice for a long time (6:3, 6:4). But in the round of 16 Tereza had a difficult match against Jelena Ostapenko (7:6, 4:6, 6:2). Both players had problems with consistency, but in the third set Tereza played better. But she wasted a lot of energy, so there are some concerns, whether she will recover in time for the quarter-final.
