Samsonova had won all four of their previous professional meetings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Kasatkina clinched her spot in the final after a three-set thriller against Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kasatkina's 2-hour and 59-minute victory put Kasatkina into her second final of the season, having made her first in Adelaide last month. The victory is Kasatkina's first over a Top 20 opponent since defeating No.18 Karolina Pliskova at Eastbourne last summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rybakina and Kasatkina have split their four lifetime meetings. Rybakina prevailed in their most recent meeting, squeaking past Kasatkina 5-7, 7-5, 7-6(8) in last year's Montreal quarterfinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
