Prediction
Iga Swiatek’s first opponent when she competes in the WTA Finals on Tuesday will be the eighth-seeded Daria Kasatkina.
Swiatek is having a phenomenal season, winning 64 of her 72 matches and collecting an amazing eight prizes. The Pole won two Grand Slams and four WTA 1000 matches (the French Open and the US Open). Swiatek made her most recent WTA Tour appearance at the San Diego Open. Before overcoming Donna Vekic in the finals, she won over Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Zheng Qinwen there.
On the other hand, Kasatkina has excelled in her tennis this year, enabling her to attain a career-high ranking of No. 8. She won the Silicon Valley Classic and the Granby Open, taking home two titles. Her finest accomplishment was reaching the French Open semifinals, where she lost to Swiatek. The Russian also made it to the semifinals of the Italian Open. Having been seeded eighth, Kasatkina competed in her most recent WTA Tour event at the Guadalajara Open. Up till the Round of 16, she participated in the WTA 1000 competition before losing to Anna Kalinskaya 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
Swiatek plays aggressively and unleashes powerful shots. She can also craft arguments with intelligence and, when necessary, wear out her adversaries. She should do well throughout the competition thanks to her mental toughness and poise.
Kasatkina has a great return game and plays excellent defence. The Russian is a talented player who is capable of using many different strategies, such as slices and drop shots. She will attempt to use a variety to dissuade the Pole from giving her finest performance.
Swiatek, who has routinely outperformed Kasatkina this season, will most likely prevail in this round.
