Daria Snigur vs Daria Kasatkina prediction
Daria Snigur advanced through the qualifying stages in Madrid without the drop of a set. She defeated Nauhany Vitoria Leme Da Silva and Hanne Vandewinkel. The Ukrainian has won two titles on the ITF circuit, but she also showed how dangerous she can be at tour-level, having reached the semi-finals of the Transylvania Open. Snigur is ranked just inside the top 100 of the world rankings.
Her opponent in the first-round is Daria Kasatkina. She made her return from injury at the Open de Rouen last week, losing to Ann Li in round one despite taking the first set. Kasatkina has only competed in 10 matches so far this season, with her best result occurring in Doha two months ago, as she reached the third-round.
She may still be recovering physically after that layoff, and that could provide some encouragement for Snigur, who has far more recent matches under her belt.
