Daria Kasatkina got off to a wonderful start of 2022 season. Russian player reached semifinals at Melbourne and Sydney tournaments before the Australian Open.

Tip and bets
Swiatek is an overwhelming favourite of the match by the bookmakers' choice. Polish player looked flawless in first two matches of the tournament, she dominated over her opponents and so far everything is going great for her. Kasatkina plays defensively, so it won't be an easy match for her. But Russian player is also in a great form and she managed to beat Swiatek in the previous season. We think that Russian player is good enough to avoid a blowout.
