Command Analysis
Daria Kasatkina
AustraliaCurrent Form
Kasatkina has shown mixed results at Asian hard court tournaments. She reached the finals in Seoul but faced challenges in Beijing and Wuhan, where she only advanced one round before conceding defeat. The Russian player lost to Anisimova (6-7, 4-6) and Linette (2-6, 3-6) during these events.
Professional Qualities
Darja is known for her defensive style of play and her ability to excel from the baseline. However, she often struggles with the physical strength needed to penetrate her opponents' defenses. Additionally, her serve is not particularly powerful, and many competitors can capitalize on her second serve immediately.
Current Tour Stats
Kasatkina remains optimistic about finishing the year in the top 10. Currently, she is ranked 11th in the world. Her performance on outdoor hard courts this season has been somewhat underwhelming, with 19 wins and 15 losses.
Interesting Betting Insights
- Four out of Kasatkina's last five victories were achieved with a straight-set score of 2-0.
- In three of her last five matches, no more than nine games were played in the second set.
Anna Bondar
HungaryCurrent Form
Bondar advanced through the qualifiers in Wuhan last week but lost to Kalinskaya in the first round of the main draw (1-6, 3-6). In Ningbo, the Hungarian player fell to Gadecki in the final qualifying round (2-6, 3-6) but entered the main draw as a lucky loser and will aim to make an impact.
Professional Attributes
Clay is Bondar's preferred surface, where she often plays numerous matches. Anna tends to favor baseline play and extended rallies, which may pose challenges for her against Kasatkina.
Current Tour Statistics
Bondar is ranked 92nd in the world, maintaining her position in the top 100 largely due to her success on clay. Her hard court record this season is weak, with nine wins and ten losses, competing mainly in lower-tier tournaments or qualifiers.
Interesting Betting Insights
- Three of Bondar's last four losses came in straight sets

1.48Tip and bets
We don't anticipate any difficulties for Daria today. Bondar has not found significant success on hard courts and her prolonged rally style won’t pose a challenge for Kasatkina, who thrives in those situations. We recommend a bet on the clear favorite to win.
Our prediction is a victory for Kasatkina with a handicap of -4.5 games at odds of 1.72
Total Bet
In four out of the last five matches won by Kasatkina, she secured victory with a final score of 2-0 in sets. Bondar lacks a powerful serve to significantly challenge Darya.
The second bet is for a total under 20.5 games at a 1.80 odds
First Set Bet
We believe Darya will quickly establish her dominance today and confidently win the opening set. Additionally, in seven out of Bondar's last ten matches, there were fewer than nine games played in the first set.
Prediction - total games in the first set is under 9.5 with odds of 1.62
