THE PREDICTION
World number 33 Anhelina Kalinina is back on her favoured clay and she looked a serious threat to the top order in Charleston after a straight-sets victory over former number one Caroline Wozniacki. The 27-year-old finished runner-up to Elena Rybakina at the Rome Masters last May to prove her credentials on the surface and after a reasonably fallow period on hardcourts she enjoyed an en excellent run to the last 16 in Miami last time out, beating Wozniacki for the first time in the first round before a big upset over Aryna Sabalenka.
World number 11 Daria Kasatkina is excellent across all surfaces but she has a particular affinity with clay, reaching the semi-finals of Roland-Garros in 2022 and winning here in Charleston back in 2017. The Russian overcame Ashlyn Krueger in three sets on Wednesday but she should be better for the early scare and she has won each of their last two encounters to take a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head. Kalinina has been in fine form in recent weeks but back Kasatkina to earn at least a set as she enjoys a sneaky assault on the top 10.
TIP: DARIA KASATKINA TO WIN A SET
