MATCH POINTS
Kasatkina has reached four of her seven career semifinals on home soil - in Moscow in 2015 and 2017, and St Petersburg in 2016 and 2018.
Her 2015 run in Moscow was also the first and only time Kasatkina has previously played Kalinskaya. The pair met in qualifying, and Kasatkina triumphed 6-4, 6-3.
Siniakova leads her head-to-head with Pliskova 4-3. They have met twice already this year - once on the hard court in Shenzhen, resulting in a straight-sets win for Siniakova, and once on the Charleston clay, resulting in a straight-sets win for Pliskova.
