Kasatkina vs Keys Prediction

We have an exciting final at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne between Daria Kasatkina and Madison Keys, who know each other pretty well. They have played 10 times on the WTA Tour, and Keys has bossed this rivalry, winning eight times. The big-hitting American won this event nine years ago as a teenager – her very first title on tour. This week, Keys started a little slower, digging past Martincova and Xiyu Wang in two tight sets. But from the quarterfinal, she found her rhythm and her ground game was off the charts. First, she demolished Petra Martic 6-4, 6-1, then totally outplayed Coco Gauff, the number five seed, in s 6-3, 6-3 win.

Kasatkina, for her part, has survived a formidable list of power hitters. Her run has been impressive. Taking down Pliskova, Garcia and Giorgi in successive matches on grass is no mean feat. But she faces the sternest of challenges in the final. Keys has redlined her game and unless Kasatkina throws her off her game (which is entirely possible given the Russian’s high tennis acumen), then we fancy the American to emerge triumphant in Eastbourne again.
