LiontipsDaria Kasatkina vs Jana Fett: Predictions and Betting Tips for the WTA Beijing Match on September 28, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
Kastkina made a successful transition to Asia after a challenging series on American hard courts. Last week, Daria competed in Seoul and managed to reach the finals, but lost the title to Haddad Maia (6-1, 4-6, 1-6). In Beijing, the Russian player will start directly from the second round, having previously reached the quarterfinals twice at this venue.
Professional Skills
On the court, Daria is known for her resilience at the baseline, making it very difficult to penetrate her defense. Additionally, she is physically fit and capable of handling long matches without issue. However, her serve remains a weak point.
Current Tour Statistics
Daria is fighting for a spot in the top 10 and is currently ranked 11th in the world. On outdoor hard courts, she has played 30 matches, achieving 17 victories.
Interesting Betting Insights
- Kastkina has secured her last seven tour victories with a score of 2-0 in sets
- In her three previous matches, more than nine games were not played in the first set
Current Form
Fett is spending her second week in Asia with limited success. She reached the quarterfinals in Hua Hin, benefiting from an early withdrawal by her opponent Gračeva in the second round. Luck was also on her side in Beijing, as she hadn’t qualified initially but made it into the main draw as a lucky loser. In the first round, she faced not the toughest opponent, Wang Meilin, whom she defeated 6-3, 6-4.
Professional Skills
The Croatian player does not possess a powerful game and lacks a strong serve. Furthermore, she is not always prepared to maintain a high tempo during rallies from the baseline, which is something Daria will likely exploit.
Current Tour Statistics
Fett is currently ranked 118th in the world and often competes in lower-tier tournaments. Since the start of the year, she has played only nine matches on hard courts, winning just four. Her playing style is most comfortable on clay.
Interesting Betting Facts
- In her last three matches, Fett has played a minimal number of sets.
- In none of her last three matches did the Croatian player engage in more than nine games in the opening set.
