Darja Semenistaja and Katarzyna Kawa meet in the quarterfinal of the 2024 WTA Buenos Aires 125K tournament. The match is scheduled to take place on Friday, November 29, 2024. Here’s our Darja Semenistaja vs Katarzyna Kawa prediction. This article will also contain a Darja Semenistaja vs Katarzyna Kawa pick.

Darja Semenistaja Preview

World No. 121 Dara Semenistaja continued in her impressive run of form in South America, reaching the Buenos Aires quarterfinal.

It took three sets once again, this time, Semenistaja seeing off Emiliana Arango 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in two and a half hours.

In the victory, the Latvian landed 70% first serves and won 64% of first-serve points (45/70). She won 43% of second-serve points (13/30) and saved three of eight break points.

On her return, Semenistaja converted six of 15 break points, winning eight of the last 10 points in the match for the victory.

Katarzyna Kawa Preview

Katarzyna Kawa defeated Panna Udvardy of Hungary 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 in two hours and 10 minutes to reach her first quarterfinal at 125k level since July.

Kawa is known for making strong starts in matches, but against Udvardy, it was the complete opposite. She dropped her serve three times in the first set.

But the Pole made an instant impact in the second set breaking Udvardy’s serve three times and leveling the match.

In the third set, Kawa battled back from a break deficit to complete the upset as a +204 underdog.

Darja Semenistaja vs Katarzyna Kawa Head-To-Head

• Semenistaja’s only win was via a retirement this season.

Darja Semenistaja vs Katarzyna Kawa Prediction

Semenistaja is having an excellent run of results in South America and the only thing missing is a title. Will she celebrate one this week? Kawa is no pushover and has won her two matches in Buenos Aires despite being less fancied by the bookies. Something about this matchup also doesn’t favor Semenistaja, whose only win in three matches was via a retirement in Kozerki. Matchup over form for me.
