Daria Kasatkina and Jasmine Paolini clash in the semifinal of the 2024 Eastbourne International. The match is scheduled for Friday, June 28, 2024. Here’s our Daria Kasatkina vs Jasmine Paolini prediction.
Daria Kasatkina vs Jasmine Paolini Preview
Daria Kasatkina ended the impressive run of British wild card Emma Raducanu in the quarterfinal stage. The match took 16 games to decide. It was the most assured performance of the week for the Russian. Kasatkina only needed an hour and 21 minutes for the victory. She recorded one ace to five double faults. Kasatkina landed 73% of first serves and won 70% (26/37) of first-serve points. Kasatkina won a measly 36% of second-serve points (5/14). She converted six of 13 break points in the match.
Jasmine Paolini scored one of the upsets of the tournament by ousting Nottingham champion and British No. 1 Katie Boulter. It was not a good day for the home nation, with three British women going out on the same day. One of those was Boulter, who was slow off the blocks. Paolini needed an hour and 38 minutes for the 6-1, 7-6 victory. The energetic Italian compiled four aces to five double faults. She landed 67% of first serves and won 78% (35/45) of first-serve points. Paolini won 50% (11/22) of second-serve points. She converted three of eight break points.

Daria Kasatkina vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Kasatkina and Paolini were in searing form in the quarterfinal, beating the former and current British No. 1s, respectively. In regards to this matchup, Kasatkina has not had a lot of success, losing in three of their four matches. But I expect grass to be the equalizer here. Granted, Paolini overpowered Boulter in the last match, grass is not a surface she is fond of. Kasatkina, by contrast, thrives on it thanks to her quickness to adapt and has got riches in terms of shot selection. She can slice, she can go flat, she can volley. Basically, all the specialties you need to excel on grass. I like Kasatkina at the money line.
