Daria Kasatkina and Gabriela Ruse meet for the first time, in the first round at the US Open 2025. The Romanian tennis comes after 6 consecutive defeats, the last victory dating from June 14, when Ruse defeated Elisabetta Cocriaretto (24 years, #85 WTA), score 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Gabriele Ruse's best performance at a Grand Slam was at the US Open, in 2024, when the Romanian reached the third round of the Flushing Meadows tournament.
On the other hand, Kasatkina achieved the best performance at Roland Garros, in 2022, when she reached the semifinals. At the US Open, Daria reached twice in the fourth round, in 2017 and 2023.
This year, Gabriela Ruse participates for the fifth time at the US Open. Last year, the Romanian gave up dramatically in front of Paula Badosa (27 years, #16 WTA), score 6-4, 1-6, 6-7 (8), in the third round.
The player from Bucharest is going through a complicated period: after the final of S'hertogenbosch, Ruse has not won any victory, being eliminated from the first round at Wimbledon, Prague, Montreal, Cincinnati and Cleveland.
