Top seed Daria Kasatkina begins her 2024 Korea Open campaign. The Russian takes on unseeded Hailey Baptiste for a place in the last eight of this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Kasatkina received a bye into the second round of this WTA 500 tournament. For the winner of this match, their next opponent will be either eighth seed Yuan Yue or unseeded Emma Raducanu.
World number 13 Kasatkina is playing her first tournament since her second round exit to Peyton Stearns at the US Open. The 27-year-old has been struggling for consistency in recent months.
Her last quarter-final appearance came on grass in June. Two hard court finals have been reached this year in Adelaide and Abu Dhabi. Both were achieved in the first couple of months of 2024.
Hailey Baptiste is the world number 105 but five places lower in the live rankings. The American has a career-high of 96th which was set in March of this year. Round one of this tournament saw her beat fellow American Sloane Stephens in straight sets.
The 22-year-old would have been relieved with that win as her previous two matches had both ended in defeat with only eight games being won. This is the first time she's reached round two of a WTA tournament since Roland Garros.
Her best results this year have come on lower level tours. We tip Kasatkina to win this match in straight sets.
