Daria Kasatkina of Australia will try to arrest a three-match losing skid against last year’s Wimbledon Open breakout star Lulu Sun in the first round of the 2025 Eastbourne International on Monday.
Kasatkina has lost her last three assignments, including a pair of first-round matches at the Queen’s Club and Berlin Ladies Open. The former top-10 player entered the grass-court season hoping she could improve on her stellar campaign on the surface in 2024, when she had compiled a 8-2 record and captured the Eastbourne International. Kasatkina is the defending champion of the tournament but faces a stiffer competition this year with reigning Wimbledon Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko and former Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin also vying for the title.
Sun is having an underwhelming 2025 grass-court campaign so far. After becoming a surprise quarterfinal entrant at the Wimbledon Open last year, Sun has gone 1-2 in her first three matches on grass this year, losing Biance Andreescu 0-6, 4-6 in the second round of the 2025 Libema Open and Katie Bouter 2-6, 2-6 in the first round of the 2025 Nottingham Open.

Our Daria Kasatkina vs Lulu Sun Prediction
Why should you pick Daria Kasatkina to win -4.5 games (Win $100 on a $102 Bet) – This is the first time Kasatkina will face Sun on the WTA Tour. Yet, I am confident the Russian-born Australian and defending Eastbourne International champion will shake off the Kiwi in dominant fashion. Kasatkina, who parades a 35-20 record on grass, should feel comfortable playing again on Eastbourne’s grass, where she ousted Emma Raducanu, Jasmine Paolini, and Leylah Fernandez in last year’s title run. Ever since her quarterfinal stint at Wimbledon, Sun has not achieved any notable accomplishment on the tour. Sun is 11-17 in the season.
Our betting prediction for Daria Kasatkina vs. Lulu Sun: Daria Kasatkina will cover -4.5 games.
