Command Analysis
Daria Kasatkina
AustraliaCurrent form
Kasatkina's season is very unstable in her usual style. After the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open, she managed to leave the tournaments in Abu Dhabi and Dubai immediately after the opening matches. At the same time, she was able to go through two rounds at once in Doha, after which she lost to Pegula in the 1/8 finals (3-6, 5-7). In Indian Wells, the Russian tennis player starts immediately from the second round, on local courts she needs to defend her ranking points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year.
Professional qualities
Kasatkina adheres to a defensive style of play, is distinguished by her endurance, reliably works out on the back line, and has in her arsenal shots that are inconvenient for rivals with a variety of spins. At the same time, she looks unconvincing on her serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Daria is unable to gain a foothold in the top 10 due to instability. Today she is the 12th racket of the world. Since the beginning of the year, the Russian has played 14 matches in the tour, in which she won eight and suffered six defeats.

Sofia Kenin
USACurrent form
Since the beginning of the year, Kenin has been actively involved in the struggle to return to her former positions. Overall, she's doing a lot, but she still lacks stability. At the previous tournament in Dubai, the American scored a quarterfinal. Sofia started in Indian Wells with a crushing victory over Inglis (6-2, 6-1).
Professional qualities
Sofia is a versatile tennis player with a rich technical arsenal. She is more inclined to attacking tennis, but she is always able to hold the ball on the back line. On her serve, the American woman does not differ in stable actions.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of 2025, Kenin has managed to play 17 matches in the tour, in which she won 11 and suffered six defeats. She is ranked 47th in the world rankings, although at one time she was the fourth racket of the world.
