Daria Kasatkina vs Karolína Plíšková prediction

Karolína Plíšková plays a forehand at Rothesay International Eastbourne

With two victories under her belt in their past encounters, Plíšková might have the psychological edge coming into the upcoming match. However, recent form favours Kasatkina, who boasts a more consistent record in her last ten matches.

Plíšková, renowned for her powerful serve and precise groundstrokes, could capitalise on these weapons to trouble Kasatkina. But she'll need to overcome the momentum that Kasatkina will be carrying from her previous victories.

On the other hand, if Kasatkina can maintain her aggression and focus, it might just be enough to break through Plíšková's defences.

If Kasatkina can put pressure Plíšková's backhand, minimizing her own unforced errors, she could level their head-to-head on Wednesday.

Pick: Daria Kasatkina to win in three sets.
