Athletistic/Tennis. On August 10, in the match of the 3rd round of the Montreal tournament, the representative of the Czech Republic Marie Bouzkova and the Russian Daria Kasatkina will play. Who will win?
Montreal. Women. Simple. Third circle. Mari Bouzkova (Czech Republic) – Daria Kasatkina (Russia)
Forecast: Victory Kasatkina
The tournament paths of Mari Bouzkova and Daria Kasatkina have previously intertwined only once – in 2021 in the Melbourne-4 tournament final. The meeting ended in a voluntary victory for the Russian woman with the score of 2:1 (4:6; 6:2; 6:2).
According to the results of the past tournament distance, Daria Kasatkina cannot boast of stable results and significant tournament achievements. The Russian tennis player won only 24 out of 42 matches, getting 1762 ranking points – 17th result.
Kasatkina joined the fight for titles twice – at the WTA-500 tournaments in Adelaide and Eastbourne, but both times she did not reach the goal, losing to Belinda Bencic and Madison Keys respectively. In the last four tournaments, Daria has not passed the 1/4 finals.
Kasatkina went to Montreal after a disastrous performance at the WTA-500 tournament in Washington, where she started with a victory over Elise Mertens with a score of 2:0 (6:3; 7:5), but Elina Svitolina did not. didn’t let go any further – 0:2 (2:6; 2:6).
On the hard courts of Canada, the Russian woman does not show the best statistics. She beat Elise Mertens (6:4; 6:2) and Anna Blinkova (6:2; 7:5), winning just 59% of the first innings, while 68.97% of 145 pitches hit the play area.
It will not be easy at the next meeting with Marie Bouzkova. The Czech tennis player in the last round knocked out the fifth racket in the world Caroline Garcia – 2: 1 (6: 4; 4: 6; 6: 2), and you should definitely not underestimate her.
However, the sensations are still not worth waiting for. The Russian will succeed and advance to the next round of the tournament.
