Daria Kasatkina is coming off a straight set win over Paula Badosa that took 18 games to decide.

Kasatkina won 63 percent of her total service points and converted on 5 of her 9 break points. Kasatkina got 63 percent of her first serves in play and saved 5 of her 7 break points.

Kasatkina and Rogers have split their previous 2 meetings. Rogers won 2017 Miami in 3 sets, while Kasatkina won this year in the French Open in straight sets.
Kasatkina is going to be the favorite for obvious reasons, as she’s the more proven player in these spots and probably the better player overall. However, Rogers has quietly been on a tear these last few months, and she gets a boost from the American crowd behind her. This feels like a decent spot for Rogers to get her first career title.
Either way, there’s going to be value with Rogers in the underdog role. I’ll take a shot.
