LiontipsDaria Kasatkina – Polina Kudermetova. WTA Doha Match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Kasatkina successfully played in Australia, reached the quarterfinals in Adelaide and the 1/8 finals at the Australian Open. However, Daria was unable to continue playing at the same level. Last week in Abu Dhabi, she sheathed her racket following the results of the opening match against Kruger (6-1, 5-7, 4-6), although she led in the score, she had the opportunity to defeat far from the most formidable opponent.
Professional qualities
Daria relies on defensive tennis in her game, on long draws, uses a solid arsenal of punches with various spins, and is distinguished by her endurance. At the same time, she plays unstably on her serve, and when she enters the second ball, her opponents often knock her out literally immediately at the reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the season, Kasatkina has played ten matches in the tour, in which she won six and suffered four defeats. At the moment, she is on the 11th line in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- Kasatkina has played three sets in only one of her last eight matches.
- In Kasatkina's two previous matches, more than ten games were played in the second game.
Current form
Polina Kudermetova entered the season with a resounding success at the Brisbane tournament. As part of those competitions, the Russian tennis player qualified for the finals, where she scored a set win against Sobolenko (6-4, 3-6, 2-6). Polina could not build on that success, she did not win a single victory in the main draw at the next two tournaments. In Doha, Kudermetova lost in the final of the Parks qualification (3-6, 2-6), but as a lucky loser she got into the base.
Professional qualities
Polina tends to play fast and aggressively, likes to be number one on the court, and has a good first serve in her arsenal. At the same time, she lacks the stability to demonstrate a high level of play at a distance, and there is very little experience of performing at a high level.
Current indicators in the tour
Thanks to her successful performance in Brisbane, Kudermetova has firmly established herself in the top 100 and is currently the 59th racket in the world. Polina has 11 wins and four losses this year.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last seven matches with Kudermetova, the minimum number of sets was played.
- In Polina's three previous matches, no more than nine games were played in the first set.

1.57Tip and bets
At the beginning of the year in Brisbane, Kudermetova sensationally defeated Kasatkina in three sets. During the season, both tennis players have slowed down somewhat, it cannot be said that Daria is now at the peak of her form and is able to take revenge without any problems. Polina did not qualify, but she got a chance to play in the main draw and will try to take advantage of it. We think we should expect a close fight between the two compatriots in this match, as it was in Brisbane.
Our forecast is that Kudermetova will win with a handicap of (+5) games with a coefficient of 1.72
Bet on the total
In the face-to-face match in Brisbane, the tennis players played three sets. We expect that there will be an equally tough match in Doha today.
The second bet is a total of more than 20 games for 1.89
Bet on the second set
Kasatkina often loses concentration during matches and loses an advantage. In the two previous matches with Daria, more than ten games were played in the second game, which we do not exclude today.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 2.35
