Aryna Sabalenka vs Daria Kasatkina: Preview
World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka looks to add to her Grand Slam tally, having lifted her first Slam of her career this year at the Australian Open. Since then, it has been a disappointing run for the Belarusian having made it to the semi-finals stage both at the Roland Garros and the Wimbledon Championships, but failing to capitalize on the chance.
She has also won the Adelaide International as well as the Madrid Open this year, failing to convert the titles at the Indian Wells Masters, and the Stuttgart Open losing in the finals against Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek, respectively. At the ongoing US Open, she beat Maryna Zanevska 6-3, 6-2 in straight sets in the first round, and then in the second round, she picked up a 6-3, 6-2 win against Jodie Burrage. In the third round, she knocked out Clara Burel by a scoreline of 6-1, 6-1 to register her place in the round of 16 stage.
On the other hand, Daria Kasatkina, who is seeded 13th in the ongoing US Open, has had a pretty decent year so far. Her notable performances this year have been the runners-up finishes at the Adelaide International 2, where she lost to Belinda Bencic and the Eastbourne International losing to Madison Keys in the final.
She also made it to the semis of the Charleston Open, losing to Ons Jabeur, and made it to the quarter-finals of the Abu Dhabi Open, the Palermo Ladies Open, and the recently played Canadian Open. At the ongoing US Open, she beat Alycia Parks 6-3, 6-2 in straight sets in the first round, and then in the second round, she picked up a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 win against Sofia Kenin. In the third round, she knocked out Greet Minnen by a scoreline of 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 to register her place in the round of 16 stage.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Daria Kasatkina: Prediction
The stakes are high for this fourth-round encounter between two of the best players in women’s tennis. Daria and Aryna have faced each other on six occasions in the past, with Sabalenka winning on four occasions and Kasatkina winning twice. Despite Sabalenka having a better record on hard courts compared to that of Daria, a neck-to-neck encounter is expected of Sabalenka going into the fifth round.
Prediction: Aryna Sabalenka to win in three sets.
