Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+4.5) for Kasatkina – 1.98.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.85.
The Spaniard defeated Kasatkina in her only head-to-head encounter on hard court this year (6-2, 6-2). Paula defeated Sasnovich at the start. However, we wouldn’t immediately discount Kasatkina. All the same, Daria feels very confident on the clay in Rome.
In four of her last five matches, Kasatkina has played three sets each. Daria rarely leaves the court without a fight. I think that today’s match will be quite long as well.
Daria Kasatkina feels very confident on the clay in Rome. From 2018 to 2020, she has reached the 1/8 finals here three times. This year, we are also seeing a good performance from the Russian.
Another confident win! Daria Kasatkina comes through a tough 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 match against World No.18 Leylah Fernandez to claim her 6th Top 20 victory of the year!

In the opening match, the world #23 beat Tamara Zidansek (6-4, 6-3) quite easily. In the second round, Daria had a tough test against Leylah Annie Fernandez. The match ended in a tie-break, where the Russian was more reliable (4-6, 6-3, 7-6).
Paula Badosa:
Paula Badosa had never competed in Rome before. The Spaniard made a successful debut. She started in the second round and left no chance against Aliaksandra Sasnovich (6-2, 6-1).

In all, Badoza played nine matches on the clay, winning six times. It should be noted that Paula did not always play consistently in tournaments. Often she alternated between successful convincing victories and far from the most confident matches. The reason is that periodically the Spaniard loses concentration in the course of matches and allows her opponents to come back into the game.
