Xinyu Wang vs Daria Kasatkina prediction
Xinyu Wang’s Washington Open ended at the second-round stage following a straight sets defeat to Liudmila Samsonova. Her best result of the season was right at the start of the year as she advanced all the way to the final in Auckland. She reached a ranking high of 30 in February, but has since dropped out of the top 40.
The Chinese player takes on Daria Kasatkina in round one. Kasatkina did struggle with injury at the start of the year, and she was forced to miss two months of the campaign. Aside from an ITF title, her form has been mixed, though she did reach the third-round at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Ultimately, she is down to 61 in the world. The 29-year-old had to qualify for the Washington Open last week but then lost her opening main draw match to Anna Kalinskaya in straight sets.
Wang has enough quality to win this first-round match at the Canadian Open.
