After some shocks an unseeded player will be in the semi-finals of the outdoor hard court Adelaide International. This second round match sees Daria Kasatkina take on qualifier Jaqueline Cristian. Read our match prediction below.
The winner will be up against either wild card Kimberly Birrell or unseeded Marketa Vondrousova in the last eight.
Daria Kasatkina really needed her first round straight sets victory over Maria Sakkari. That win ended a run of four successive defeats and another win will take Kasatkina into the last eight here for the second successive year.
The Australian is up to 43rd in the live rankings but was eighth four years ago. Three previous matches against Cristian have all been won by Kasatkina. Two of those wins were achieved on this surface.
Jaqueline Cristian showed improvement on outdoor hard courts last year. 20 out of 35 matches were won compared to a 9-22 record in 2023 and 2024. One title was won on this surface in 2025.
The Romanian lost in round one in Brisbane last week. Two qualifiers were won here before a first round success against fourth-seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. This may be close and our tip for this match is more than 19.5 games to be played.
