getting into 1/4 can be considered an enormous success for Kudermetova, especially since she, although not without difficulty, beat Badosa and Keys, clearly higher in the world ranking.
Daria passed the tournament path to the quarterfinals brilliantly, without a single loss. Moreover, in the last two matches, she had formidable opponents, Rogers (world number 30) and Giorgi (50th but fights as equals with the top 10).
Undoubtedly, Daria is considered the favorite in this game, but we do not think victory will be easy for her. Kasatkina makes few mistakes but often acts too aggressively. The match is important for two compatriots, and we can expect a repetition of the scenario of a personal meeting in St. Petersburg, when three games were played.
Our prediction: at least 3 sets to be played. We recommend the “Over 2.5” bet, odds 2.55
