Tennis. WTA. San Jose. The final. Rogers – Kasatkina. Direct
The tournaments on the American continent that started on August 1 have already given a lot of positive emotions to Russian tennis fans. So, in the Mexican Los Cabos, the title was won by Daniil Medvedev. And in the American capital – Washington, Lyudmila Samsonova became the winner. Daria Kasatkina can continue the winning streak abroad. In the final game of the US tournament in San Jose, the Russian woman meets US representative Shelby Rogers.
According to personal encounters of tennis players, the score is 1:1. Rogers beat Dasha in 2017 at a tournament in Miami (2nd round match). Then in the decisive set, Shelby managed to hook the wheel of the Russian tennis player (6:4, 5:7, 6:0). Kasatkina got her revenge this season, when on the courts of Roland Garros (3rd round match) she confidently defeated the American in straight sets – 6:3, 6:2.
However, in San Jose, both tennis players are showing great tennis. Suffice it to say that for two athletes eliminated from the tournament, three tennis seeds, who are also in the top 6 of the WTA rankings. So Rogers impressed with a landslide victory over the third racket in the world – Greece’s Maria Sakkari (6:1, 6:3). It is also noted that the American did not allow the Russian final to take place at the tournament, beating Veronika Kudermetova yesterday (6:3, 6:4). By the way, in San Jose, Shelby did not give up a single set to her rivals. Such powerful play saw Rogers move up the WTA rankings 15 lines at a time, from 45th to 30th.
Daria Kasatkina stood out in the tournament with two great wins over the tops of Belarus and Spain – Arina Sobolenko (4:6, 7:5, 6:0) and Paula Badosa (6:2, 6:4 ). Interestingly, the Russian woman has finished three of her four games with a shuttlecock. It speaks of Kasatkina’s excellent form, for which there is not much difference now, whether it is to attack on her serve or on the opponent’s serve.
