DARIA KASATKINA VS PAULA BADOSA PREDICTION
Daria Kasatkina has established herself as one of the players to watch this week after two thoroughly dominant wins over Zhang Shuai and Yuriko Miyazaki, including a double bagel against the latter. We shouldn’t be surprised though, seeing as she won the Eastbourne International in the week leading up to Wimbledon, with her grass-court game clearly in excellent shape right now.
Former world number two Paula Badosa has equalled her showings at both the Australian and French Opens this year by reaching the third round after relatively comfortable victories in the opening two rounds, and the Spaniard is clearly heading in the right direction as she climbs back up the rankings following an injury-hit period in her career.
Kasatkina has not been troubled so far but Badosa will certainly put up sterner resistance. Indeed, this match-up will be a true test of where Badosa’s game is right now as she faces an opponent who is firing on all cylinders. The world rankings will have you believe this is a formality for Kasatkina, and the 14th seed should win this, but don’t be surprised if Badosa takes a set in defeat.
