Xin Yu vs Kasatkina Prediction 17 June 2025

The Chinese player showcased her skills in the qualifiers, defeating both Gibson and Ons Jabeur. After an early exit in the first round at 's-Hertogenbosch, this was a perfect opportunity to regain her form. Indeed, Xinyu surprised many in her opening qualifier match by committing 10 double faults against Gibson, yet she still managed to secure the win. However, against Jabeur, Wang improved significantly, making only 2 such errors. Her progress is evident, and her return game also delighted her fans. Wang has prepared well and is certainly capable of putting up a strong fight against her opponent in the first round.

Kasatkina has always had a knack for playing well on grass; the Australian citizen has clinched several titles on this surface and reached the finals of grass-court tournaments. However, we've only witnessed one match from Kasatkina on grass since her change of citizenship and the emergence of her recent gameplay issues. So, it's too early to draw any conclusions. In her first match at the London tournament, she lost to Sonay Kartal, who had the backing of the home crowd. This pressure took a toll on Daria, who isn't in peak form right now. We'll see how she handles herself in Berlin, as facing a German player with the full support of the stands will be a tough challenge.
