Marta Kostyuk vs Daria Kasatkina prediction

Marta Kostyuk took a little time to get going against Marketa Vondrousova on Tuesday but when she clicked into gear, she ran out a comfortable winner 2-6 6-3 6-2.

The Ukrainian 24th-seed now faces Daria Kasatkina who she is very familiar with and this third-round clash promises to a competitive one.

Kasatkina coasted to a 6-1 6-4 win over Anna Blinkova in her opening match but this task against Kostyuk promises to be much more challenging.

The pair have met seven times before with Kasatkina having edged the head-to-head by winning four to Kostyuk’s three. Two of Kostyuk’s wins have come on clay and the last two hard court encounters have gone the way of Kasatkina.

Their previous meetings see us lean towards Kasatkina even though Kostyuk is improving all the time. The one interesting trend, regardless of who ns, is that five of the seven matches have been won in straight sets. We can see a similar outcome here with the player that gets the edge early on going on to win.
