Kudermetova had to save two match points in order to win, and in the decider there, it wasn’t looking good. After a long first set, Kudermetova managed to take it to go up 1-0 in the match. But Kasatkina had her number in the second, quickly taking it 6-1. The momentum was strong for Kasatkina heading into the third, who had a 2-0 head-to-head record over Kudermetova. But the 26-year old found a way to defeat her and get one match closer to an even head-to-head record.

The First Meeting
