    Fifth seed Daria Kasatkina will cross swords with eighth seed Belinda Bencic in the final of the women's singles match at Adelaide International 2 on Saturday. Both Kasatkina and Bencic were handed walk-overs by Paula Badosa and Veronika Kudermetova, respectively, in the semi-finals on Friday (January 13). Notably, Kasatkina hasn't dropped a set in the WTA 500 tournament. Here is the preview.

    Badosa, Kudermetova suffer injuries

    As per WTA, Spanish ace Badosa withdrew from her match against Kasatkina due to a right thigh injury. Meanwhile, sixth-seeded Kudermetova of Russia pulled out ahead of her last-four clash with Bencic owing to a left hip injury.

    Kasatkina's dominating run in the tournament 

    Kasatkina stormed past Barbora Krejcikova 6-2, 7-5 in the round of 16. She then overpowered two-time Grand Slam winner Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-6(3), before receiving a walkover from ninth-seed Badosa.

    Kasatkina has a lead over Badosa

    Kasatkina enjoys a 3-1 win-loss record against Badosa in WTA match-ups. The latter won their maiden meet in 2022 Sydney, with Kasatkina claiming emphatic straight-set wins in their next two matches in Rome and San Jose.

    Kasatkina is a six-time WTA titlist 

    Kasatkina has won six titles in her women's singles career so far (2022 - San Jose, Granby; 2021 - Phillip Island Trophy, St. Petersburg; 2018 - Moscow; 2017 - Charleston). Meanwhile, she has been a runner-up on five occasions (2021 - Birmingham, San Jose; 2018 - Dubai, Indian Wells; 2017 - Moscow).

    Bencic's run in the Adelaide International 2

    Bencic trounced Garbine Muguruza, two-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one, 6-3, 6-4 in R32. She beat Anna Kalinskaya of Russia 6-3, 6-3 in R16. In the quarter-finals, Swiss Bencic overcame fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia of France 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. She advanced to the final via a walkover from Kudermetova.

    How has Bencic fared against Kudermetova?

    Bencic boasts a 5-4 W/L record against Kudermetova in WTA head-to-head series. Their maiden meet dates back to 2018 's-Hertogenbosch, with the latter prevailing in three sets. Notably, Bencic had won their last meet in the 2022 Berlin quarter-finals.

    Bencic seeks her seventh WTA honor

The 25-year-old has won six titles in her women's singles career (2022 - Charleston; 2021 - Olympics; 2019 - Dubai, Moscow; 2015 - Eastbourne, Toronto).
