Daria Kasatkina vs Danielle Collins: Preview
Daria Kasatkina moves into the 4th final of the season as she battles past Belgian Elise Mertens 6-3, 6-2 to register her first straight-set victory of the week in California. Having received a bye in the first round, she had to play back-to-back 3-setters to move into the semis from where she now goes into the finals.
Danielle Collins continues her rampant run in San Jose as she blasts past Croatian Ana Konjuh 6-0, 6-2 in just 52 minutes to reach her 2nd final of the season in pursuit of her 2nd title this year. She has dropped just 1 set in the entire week having played all 4 rounds to reach the finals. Collins similar to Daria was knocked out in the 2nd round of the 2021 Wimbledon earlier this year.
Daria Kasatkina vs Danielle Collins: Head to Head
The duo has met twice previously, once each on Clay and Hardcourts. They met for the first time in the 2nd round of the 2018 Italian Open and then again at the 2021 Phillip Island Trophy, this time in the semi-finals. On both occasions, Daria was the winner and now leads the head-to-head tie 2-0.
Daria Kasatkina vs Danielle Collins: Prediction
Kasatkina will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 99-71 and a season record of 13-4 on the surface having gone 30-12 for the season across all surfaces. Collins on the other hand will come into the clash with a career Hardcourt record of 101-61 and a season record of 14-5 having gone 26-9 across all surfaces.
While both the players have got some impressive victories, it won’t be an easy victory for either of the player. However, going by the past track record, it seems Collins will be the one adding yet another title but she would need to dig deep as Kasatkina won’t back down easily.
Prediction: Danielle Collins in 3 sets.
