During the season, the tennis players have played each other four times, three times on a hard court and once on clay. The winner of these matches was invariably Swiatek. In each match, she won by a landslide. It was repeatedly noted in the tips that it was difficult for Kasatkina to play against physically strong opponents. It is unlikely that Daria will be able to surprise Iga today.
In the four matches between the tennis players this season, the total has never exceeded the 17-game mark.
Swiatek is the absolute leader of the season. This year, Iga has played 72 matches and won 64, including 39 on a hard court.
The main achievements of the Polish tennis player were wins at Roland Garros and the US Open. At the Australian Open, she reached the semi-finals.
In addition, Iga won six more tournaments in 2022 thanks to which she secured first place in the WTA rankings. There is a suspicion that she will not leave the top of the world ranking any time soon.
In mid-October, Swiatek took the title in San Diego and then decided to take a break after giving up a major tournament in Guadalajara to prepare for the final.
Swiatek has won 12 straight matches against top-10-ranked players in the world.
For Kasatkina, the Guadalajara Open was of great importance in the context of making it to the WTA Finals.
In the end, Daria made it only one round, defeating Zhu Lin (6-1, 6-2), but still found herself in the company of the best tennis players on the planet. In the next match, she sensationally lost to Anna Kalinskaya (2-6, 6-2, 3-6).
Kasatkina was saved by the fact that her rivals did not play their best tennis either. Otherwise, she would have been sunbathing on a beach somewhere.
By the way, Kasatkina failed in the autumn part of the season. After losing to Harriet Dart (6-7, 6-1, 3-6) in the first round of the US Open, she played in three tournaments and won only one match in each.
Kasatkina has had exactly two sets in five of the last six encounters.
