MATCH POINTS
Williams has won her last three encounters with Suárez Navarro, including at last year's US Open.
The Spaniard is looking to defeat two Top 10 players at the same tournament since Rome in 2015.
The previous four meetings between Kerber and Kasatkina have been played on hard courts.
The German has reached at least the quarterfinals of all five tournaments she has played so far in 2018.
20-year-old Kasatkina will rise to her new career-high ranking spot following this tournament.
