Daria Kasatkina vs Elina Avanesyan WTA Qatar Open Prediction: Armenian Up Against the Chalk

• Prediction: Elina Avanesyan +4 Games
• Best Odds: -111
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on February 11, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Daria Kastkina is a heavy favorite at -250, and a handful of bookmakers who expect another easy win for the 10-seed in Doha, have -275 on the favorite.

Kasatkina didn’t lose a single game in the first round against Lucky Loser Polina Kudermetova wasn’t so lucky to return to this WTA1000 event. We don’t see many 12 – 0 defeats these days, but Kasatkina walked all over her compatriot and friend in 42 minutes.

Elina Avanesyan is well aware she is not expected to move on in this tournament but I don’t expect the Armenian native to make it easy for Kasatkina.

I am tossing the +4 with Avanesyan on my board as the main bet and I will also take the Over 21 games with an equivalent -110 on the total.

Evanesyan struggled with 38th-ranked Xinyu Wang as two of the three sets needed tie-breakers and Wang won the second frame, 6 – 1. The Armenian native was broken seven times against Wang so why should we have confidence in Avanesyan to give Kasatkina a battle?

No one expects Avanesyan to show up today after the convincing win for Kasatkina to open this event. I don’t care about all that because Kasatkina tends to lose focus against weaker opponents as evidenced by the most recent loss in Abu Dhabi. 

Kasatkina was a -180 favorite against Ashlyn Krueger and the American ended up with the three-set victory. 

Avaensyan will have to fix her service issues to keep this match close and I am counting on the Armenian to cover the +4 games.

DARIA KASATKINA RECENT FORM

Daria Kasatkina was perfect against Kudermetova winning the first-round match 12 – 0. 

Kasatkina improved to 7 – 4 this season with the opening-round victory and went 3 – 0 at the Australian Open before the loss to Emma Navarro.

With a 40 – 23 record last season, Kasatkina ended the year in the top 10 and a deep run at Doha would be beneficial to claiming a spot there again.

ELINA AVANESYAN RECENT FORM

Elina Avanesyan is ranked 48th on the WTA Tour and is 4 – 4 in 2025. 

The Armenian native produced a 29 – 24 season in 2024 completing a fifth straight campaign with a winning record.

Avanesyan reached the semifinal in Hobart and all three of her recent losses have gone the distance. 

KASATKINA VS AVANESYAN HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Daria Kasatkina and Elina Avanesyan met in Berlin during the 2023 campaign and Avanesyan won that match in three sets.

The winner of this match will face Elina Svitolina or Jessica Pegula in the third round of the Qatar Open.
