Late in the evening of Monday, March 11, in the match of the third round of the “thousandth” in Indian Wells, the first racket of the Russian national team Daria Kasatkina will compete with American Sloane Stephens for a ticket to 1/8 of final of the prestigious tournament. If successful, our tennis player will join two Anastasias – Potapova and Pavlyuchenkova, who have already reached the fourth round of the competition.
At the “mile” in Indian Wells, Kasatkina, 26, started as the 12th racket in the world. At the moment, Daria has already improved her place in the WTA rankings by one position. As for Stevens, 30, she started her home tournament at 44th place in the world rankings. However, thanks to reaching the 1/16 finals, Sloan is already the 40th racket in the world. The best place in the American’s career is third place on the WTA circuit, which she occupied in July 2018. Recall that Kasatkina’s maximum is 8th place on the tour, which Dasha occupied in October 2022.
It is interesting that in personal meetings Stevens confidently wins with a score of 4:1. A little less than two months ago, tennis players met in the second round of the Australian Open. Then, Sloan won in three sets – 4:6, 6:3, 6:3. Before that, Daria lost to the American at the Parma 2021 tournament, as well as in three sets – 6:1, 4:6, 5:7. And the only victory of the Russian over Stevens happened right in the “thousandth” in Indian Wells six years ago – March 13, 2018. Then, in the third round, Kasatkina was stronger in straight sets – 6:4 , 6:3.
