H2H History

Svitolina has won all 6 matches against Kasatkina, with their most recent match coming in the 2021 US Open. The lone meeting on clay came in 2018 Rome. Four of the 6 matches were decided in straight sets.

Randy’s Pick

Kasatkina should be the favorite for obvious reasons, as she’s been the better player this year and Svitolina is still working her way back from a pregnancy and hiatus. However, Svitolina has played great tennis these last couple of weeks, and she’s dominated the h2h against Kasatkina. It makes Svitolina and the plus money very attractive.

I’ll take a shot with Svitolina at this price.
