Third seed Jasmine Paolini and sixth seed Daria Kasatkina will meet in the 2024 Eastbourne International semi-finals. The winner here will take on Leylah Fernandez or Madison Keys in the championship match.
Paolini is having an amazing debut season at Devonshire Park and is now just two wins from a first tour title on grass. The Italian carries the momentum from the French Open where she finished as runner-up to record her best-ever result at a major. She began her campaign here in the second round.
Her showdown with Elise Mertens ended prematurely in the first set after the Belgian was forced to retire with injury. In the quarter-finals, the 28-year-old got the better of Katie Boulter in straight sets.
She has now won 24 of 35 matches. Paolini’s strong campaign has resulted in one title, in Dubai, and also moved her into the WTA top 10. She is currently ranked seventh in the world, a career high. Paolini has won three of the five matchups with Kasatkina and is on a two-match winning run in this fixture.
Kasatkina last beat Paolini in 2019 at the French Open. Though none of their five encounters has been on a grass surface, the Russian will be confident of success here. This is because she is a stronger grasscourt player and was runner-up in this event last season.
Kasatkina, though yet to win a title on grass, has competed in multiple finals on the surface at tour level. To advance to the last four, Kasatkina saw off crowd favourite Emma Raducanu by the loss of four games.
She has won two of her three matches without dropping a set and improved her grass record to 4-1. The world number 14 won the three semi-finals she played this year. She has however not won a title and will be hopeful this is the tournament she breaks that streak. A win over Paolini will mean a two-place jump in the live ranking for the 27-year-old.
