Daria Kasatkina vs Emma Raducanu – Eastbourne International Tennis Prediction and Pick 6/27/24

Daria Kasatkina will face Emma Raducanu in the quarterfinal of the 2024 Eastbourne International. The match is scheduled for Thursday, June 27, 2024. Here’s our Daria Kasatkina vs Emma Raducanu prediction.

Daria Kasatkina vs Emma Raducanu Preview

Daria Kasatkina has reached her fourth quarterfinal at the 2024 Eastbourne International. In the previous three, she reached the final once, last season, losing to Madison Keys. This week, Kasatkina is making her case to top the podium as she chases her first grass-court title. So far, she’s won six WTA titles on clay and hard courts. The World No. 14 faced a possible second-round defeat to Yuan Yue but stormed back to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-0.

Emma Raducanu secured her first Top 10 win of her career in the second round. She defeated World No. 5 Jessica Pegula from the brink to reach the quarterfinals of Eastbourne on her debut. Raducanu rallied from a set and a beak down against the experienced American and saved a match point in the second-set tie-break to prevail 4-6, 7-6, 7-5 in almost three hours.

Daria Kasatkina vs Emma Raducanu Prediction

Kasatkina is fond of this tournament, and she has played some of her best tennis here compared to the other grass-court tournaments she has played. This is her fourth quarterfinal in Eastbourne, and she made the final 12 months ago. Raducanu’s decision not to pursue clay-court tennis after Madrid in favor of an early preparation for grass is starting to yield dividends. Last week, she was a semifinalist in Nottingham, and this week, she’s scored her first-ever Top 10 win on the WTA Tour. The Briton has bucketloads of resilience, which was on display in her comeback win over the in-form Pegula. And while Kasatkina has had a better season, she was lackluster for a set and a half in her win over Yuan. I feel Raducanu will seize the momentum here.
