Current Form:
Kasatkina will try to end a four-match losing streak on Monday against Sakkari. The former top-10 player dropped her first match of the year, falling to Anastasia Potapova 5-7, 6-4, 4-6 in the opening round of the 2026 Brisbane International. Kasatkina looked rusty in this match, committing 14 aces and a bunch of unforced errors.
Sakkari displayed impressive form at the United Cup, finishing with a 2-1 card in women’s singles play. Sakkari defeated a couple of Grand Slam champions in Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2 and Emma Raducanu 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. She lost to Coco Gauff 3-6., 2-6 in the quarterfinals.

Our Daria Kasatkina vs Maria Sakkari Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Daria Kasatkina sustains dominance over Maria Sakkari 6-4, 5-7, 6-7.
Reasoning: It’s going to be a hell of a battle, but I still see Kasatkina grinding out a win despite Sakkari’s terrific form as of late. Expect a sharper and stronger play from Kasatkina, who is gunning for her fifth career win in six matches against Sakkari. Kasatkina swept the Greek 6-0, 6-3 in their last meeting at the Berlin Ladies Open and beat her again 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 in their only hard-court match at the 2018 Canadian Open.
Our betting prediction for Maria Sakkari vs. Daria Kasatkina: Daria Kasatkina will win.
