Daria Kasatkina vs Camila Giorgi preview
Daria Kasatkina will square off against Camila Giorgi in the fourth round of the French Open on Monday.
Kasatkina has carried her good form from Rome, where she made the semifinals, into the French Open. She is through to the second week in Paris for the first time since 2018.
The Russian has put up an almost flawless display so far at Roland Garros. She kicked off her campaign by easing past Rebecca Sramkova and Fernanda Contreras Gomez in straight sets.
In the third round, she faced the in-form Shelby Rogers, who had gotten the better of Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins in her previous match. Kasatkina hit the ground running, breaking Rogers' serve twice in quick succession to win the first set.

Kasatkina was dominant in the second set as well, securing a 6-3, 6-2 victory to move into the fourth round.
Camila Giorgi, on the other hand, has bounced back strongly following her withdrawal from the Italian Open due to injury. The Italian has played excellent tennis at the French Open, getting the better of Zhang Shuai, Yulia Putintseva and Aryna Sabalenka.
Against Sabalenka, the Italian lost her serve in the seventh game, which cost her the first set. But the 30-year-old put up a fierce display in the next two sets. She broke Sabalenka thrice in the second set and bageled her in the third.

Daria Kasatkina vs Camila Giorgi prediction
Karatkina will enter the contest as the favorite on paper, but the hard-hitting Giorgi is capable of scripting an upset.
Kasatkina hit 49 winners in her first three matches and is yet to drop a set in Paris. She likes to play from the baseline and generally adopts a cautious approach.
The Russian has a variety of shots in her repertoire, making good use of her heavy topspin forehand and one-handed slice backhand. She also plays the drop shot well, which could come in handy against Giorgi.
Giorgi is a completely different player when she's in the zone (as she was against Sabalenka). The former World No. 26 has always been a powerful hitter. This season, however, she seems to have worked on her positional play and decision making.
Both players are in good form heading into the contest. Kasatkina is all about finesse and technique, while the Italian relies on raw power. Giorgi seems to be hitting the ball immaculately at the moment and should be able to power her way through to the quarterfinals.
Pick: Giorgi to win in three sets
