The WTA event in Eastbourne always produces surprises. This year we\u2019ve had Emma Raducanu make the quarterfinals and perhaps more amazingly, Jasmine Paolini<\/a> make the final four despite never winning a match at Wimbledon<\/a> before. Let\u2019s see who will make the final and find the form and confidence going into the third major of the year.<\/p>\n

WTA Eastbourne semifinal predictions<\/h2>\n

Jasmine Paolini vs Daria Kasatkina<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Paolini 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know Paolini was having a great year, as evident with her amazing final run at Roland Garros a few weeks ago, but not many expected that to immediately translate onto the grass, a surface where she\u2019s never won a match on at Tour level. In fairness, she was handed a withdrawal 5-2 up in her first match here but absolutely routing Katie Boulter, a good grass-courter, in the quarterfinals 6-1 7-6(0) was more than surprising.<\/p>\n

With Russian Kasatkina, you know what you\u2019re going to get, as Emma Raducanu found out in the last round getting routed. The big question is whether Paolini can grind Kasatkina down enough on a grass court, on paper you would probably think not but with the way she\u2019s playing and the form and confidence she has right now, it\u2019s perhaps not impossible.
