Petra Martic vs Daria Kasatkina: Preview

Daria Kasatkina moved 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. Ultimately, she lost in a thrilling 3 setter in the final to Danielle Collins.
