By the numbers: Kasatkina rolls past Raducanu in Eastbourne quarterfinals

No.6 seed Daria Kasatkina
2023 finalist Kasatkina was runner-up in last year at the tournament to Madison Keys
But to keep those hopes alive, the World No.14 first dominated Raducanu, who saved a match point in a thrilling three-set triumph against No.2 seed Jessica Pegula
"I was trying to be in control of myself, because the conditions were very tough," Kasatkina said afterwards. "It's very difficult to do some nice things. You have to play and try to win as many points as you can, try to put as many balls as you can inside the court, and I think I did this pretty good today."
Dasha is in 🔝 form 💯

Other key numbers from Kasatkina's win included:
2: Kasatkina is now 2-0 against Raducanu in her career. Previously, she won 7-5, 6-4 on indoor hard courts in Ostrava in 2022.
3: Raducanu was one of three Brits to make the quarterfinals, a first in more than 40 years of the tournament. However, with defeats for all three on Thursday, the home nation will have to wait another year in the hopes of a local champion for the first time since 1975.
4: Kasatkina is through to her fourth semifinal of 2024, but first since the Volvo Car Open in April. She is a perfect 3-0 when she reaches the penultimate round this year, but has lost three of her five career matches with her next opponent Paolini. (But they have never played on grass.)
6: Kasatkina broke serve six times in victory, and had break points in all but one of Raducanu's service games. The Brit held at love to start the match, but was under constant pressure from then on. In all, Kasatkina had 13 break point opportunities.
43: Raducanu won just 43% of points behind her first serve in the match, despite landing 70% of them. By contrast, Kasatkina won 70% of her first-serve points, landing 73%.
