The Kudermetova vs Sakatsume match in the Canberra (W) tournament is set to be played on outdoor hard courts at the Canberra Tennis Centre in Canberra, Australia, a venue known for its medium-paced Plexicushion-style surface and multiple show courts plus practice courts that regularly host ITF and Challenger-level women’s events.

Considering recent form and surface suitability, Kudermetova’s more aggressive baseline game and better hard-court win rate give her the edge, and odds around 1.70 on Kudermetova suggest the market implies roughly a 58–60% win probability, while Sakatsume at around 2.10 offers underdog value if she can extend rallies and exploit longer exchanges.

There is no widely recorded official head-to-head match at tour level between Polina Kudermetova and Himeno Sakatsume up to the past month, so this Canberra (W) clash is expected to be their first notable meeting, making form, surface stats, and recent results more important than historical matchup data.
