The major talking point will be the fitness of Serena Williams after her retirement from the final of WTA Toronto<\/a> on Sunday. We also have predictions<\/a> for more Cincinnati Tuesday matches<\/a>.<\/p>\n Head-to-Head Record: 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\n Strycova will play her first main draw match since her wonderful run<\/a> to the semifinals at Wimbledon<\/a>, despite being thrashed in the final round of qualifying her by Rebecca Peterson.<\/p>\n In as a lucky loser, she will hope to ride that luck against a player in Daria Kasatkina, who blows very much hot and cold, often within the same set of tennis.<\/p>\n Kasatkina has a losing record in the previous twelve months on tour and is struggling from a lack of consistency. It may very well be the case that she flies through the match dominating rallies and hitting winners, but it\u2019s just as likely to all go wrong for the young Russian.<\/p>\n Strycova will be more solid on serve and that should be enough to see her through the match.Barbora Strycova vs Daria Kasatkina<\/strong><\/h4>\n
