Daria Kasatkina vs Jana Fett preview

Ninth seed Daria Kasatkina will look to get her campaign at the 2024 China Open underway when she takes on Jana Fett in the second round. The player from Russia has a 33-19 record in 2024, with a title at the Rothesay International. She last played at the Korea Open, where she reached the final, losing to Beatriz Haddad Maia in three sets.

The World No. 11 has struggled on hard courts in recent months. Before the final in Korea, she could only win 2 matches in North American hard-court swing. However, at the beginning of the year, she had better hard-court results, including reaching the final of the Adelaide International (losing to Jelena Ostapenko) and the final of the Abu Dhabi Open (losing to Elena Rybakina). Being the ninth seed, she got a bye in the opening round of the China Open.

Jana Fett has played extensively on the ITF Tour and the WTA 125 in 2024. She has not qualified in the main draws of events regularly, and when she has played in the main draw, she usually has had early-round exits. She last played at the Thailand Open, where she reached the quarter-final, losing to eventual champion Rebecca Sramkova.

At the China Open, Fett lost to Liang En-shuo in qualifying but entered the main draw as a lucky loser replacement after Emma Raducanu's withdrawal from the tournament. In the first round, she defeated Chinese wildcard opponent Wang Meiling in straight sets.

Daria Kasatkina vs Jana Fett prediction

Daria Kasatkina has won 58 percent of her career matches on hard courts. She has reached 13 finals on the surface, winning five titles, the last of which came at the Championnats de Granby. The Russian had her best performance to date when she reached the 2018 BNP Paribas Open final, losing to Naomi Osaka.

Jana Fett has not shown any significant progress on the WTA Tour yet. The Croatian does have nine ITF titles, but it remains to be seen if she can go toe-to-toe with the higher-ranked opponents.

The rankings and the current form indicate Kasatkina to be the clear favorite in the upcoming match.

Pick- Daria Kasatkina to win in straight sets
