THE PREDICTION

World number 13 Daria Kasatkina put in an excellent run at the Canada Masters last week before a three-set defeat, from a set up, to Elena Rybakina. The 26-year-old could be a real factor in Cincinnati if she can build on that performance but she has been intermittent at best this season, suffering as many early exits as strong weeks. 21-year-old Peyton Stearns come into Cincinnati at a career-high WTA world ranking of 55th after impressing earlier this season in her first year on the main tour. The Cincinnati native will be backed to the hilt and beyond here on a home court but Kasatkina conceded just one game to her in their first meeting in Paris back in June and she should eventually find a way through this tougher test. Taking Stearns to earn at least a set feels about as sentimental as shrewd but the sensible call is taking Kasatkina to win outright.
