The 2024 Adelaide International is set to showcase some thrilling match-ups on its third day, with top names like Daria Kasatkina and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova taking the court. Alongside them, Veronika Kudermetova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Ana Bogdan will also be in action, promising an exciting day of tennis.

Daria Kasatkina vs Anna Kalinskaya

Daria Kasatkina, ranked World No. 15, is aiming for redemption at this year’s Adelaide International after a relatively quiet season on the WTA Tour last year. Having started her 2024 season with a last-eight appearance in Brisbane, she is looking to continue her good form. On the other hand, Anna Kalinskaya, who had to qualify for the main draw, scored a significant upset in the first round by defeating World No. 10 Barbora Krejčíková. With Kasatkina leading their head-to-head meetings 3-1, the match is expected to be an intriguing battle between the two Russian players, with Kalinskaya aiming to cause another upset.

Veronika Kudermetova vs Ekaterina Alexandrova

Veronika Kudermetova and Ekaterina Alexandrova are set to face off in what promises to be a high-quality encounter between two top-ranked Russians. Kudermetova, who briefly held a spot in the WTA top 10 rankings last season, started her Adelaide campaign strongly by defeating Ashlyn Krueger in straight sets. On the other hand, Alexandrova overcame a set deficit and saved four match points to secure her opening victory. With their head-to-head record tied at 2-2, the match is expected to be a close battle, with Kudermetova having a slight edge due to her consistency.
