Daria Kasatkina vs Lucia Bronzetti prediction

Winner of eight WTA titles across her career already, Daria Kasatkina is on the hunt for further success here in Cincinnati and as a seeded player, the Australian was afforded a free passage into the second round. However, opponent Lucia Bronzetti had to get here the hard way, battling past Lin Zhu in a memorable first-round clash that was decided in three sets with two of those ending in a tie-break.

Bronzetti held her nerve in a thrilling third set, winning the tie-breaker 8-6, completing a comeback that saw her drop set one in a tie-break. The big question really is how much those exploits took out of the Italian physically, although the adrenaline gathered from such a dramatic win should serve her well in this next match.

Kasatkina is unlikely to let Bronzetti off the hook if the latter is slow out of the blocks and falls behind. Her movement around the court is well suited to this surface and all the ingredients are in place for a good run in Cincinnati, so consider backing Kasatkina.
