Daria Kasatkina vs Ann Li prediction
Daria Kasatkina makes her return to the tour, having not played since the Dubai Tennis Championships in February. Kasatkina won her first match against Laura Siegemund but then withdrew before her encounter with Mirra Andreeva. She was suffering from a right hip injury and decided to not compete at either of the Sunshine Double events. Kasatkina can be an effective player on clay, having reached the semi-finals of Roland Garros in 2022.
She faces Ann Li. The American has struggled so far this season and currently has six losses from her last seven matches. She began her clay court campaign at the Linz Open but lost to Dayana Yastremska in straight sets. Her best result of the season was a third-round appearance at the Qatar Open back in February.
Kasatkina has not competed in over two months, but Li is vulnerable after a period of poor form. This could run into a third set.
