Daria Kasatkina vs Petra Martic – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 20.5 Games
Elina Svitolina stopped Kasatkina from reaching the quarter-finals of the French Open. She will be seething with vengeance after that 23-game loss and will be gunning to put Martic to the sword. Given her pedigree on grass court that saw her reach last season’s Wimbledon quarter-finals, the Croatian ace will push her. It will be a battle as has been the case in their last four meetings, the most recent of which finished with 21 games. With both stars looking to start on the right foot, a similarly long meeting is expected in their latest duel.
2-0 to Daria Kasatkina
Only one of the four meetings between Kasatkina and Martic has seen a deciding set. With the Russian ace’s last four matches coming to a conclusion in two sets, three times in her favour, we expect a similar outcome. Add to the fact that Martic was on the losing side in three of her last four matches and it becomes easy to root for Kasatkina. Moreover, the 24-year-old Russian has momentum on her side against the Martic, winning their last two bouts.

Daria Kasatkina
Kasatkina showcased her talent during the recent clay-court swing with 10 wins from five tournaments. She made significant improvements after struggling to find consistency earlier in the season. Despite a close loss in the fourth round of Roland-Garros, Kasatkina’s recent progress has been encouraging. She would have surely set her sights on the Berlin Open, determined to carry her momentum onto the grass courts and continue her upward trajectory in the rankings.
Petra Martic
The seasoned Croatian ace has a solid track record that propelled her back into the top 30 after a successful clay swing. Although not known for her prowess on grass, Martic aims to make her mark on the surface. She impressed on the surface with a quarterfinal appearance at the 2022 Wimbledon Open and will look to excel on the grass in the current campaign as well. Armed with eight top 20 wins since the start of 2022, Martic will be ready to challenge her opponents at the Berlin Open and prove her versatility across different court types.
