Daria Kasatkina, ranked 9th in the world, scored a convincing victory over American Payton Stearns, ranked 69th in the WTA rankings, with a score of 6:0, 6:1 in the third round of Roland Garros.
Yanchuk noted that it is difficult at this time to draw firm conclusions on the impact of the coaching change on Kasatkina’s game, based solely on individual matches and a tournament. For a complete and objective analysis, it is necessary to collect more information and identify a trend for improvement. However, he noted that Kasatkina is currently playing very well, has an excellent psychological state, which gives her great chances to struggle more.
Yanchuk pointed out that earlier Kasatkina may have lacked active, high-velocity shooting, as well as sharpness in attack, despite his beautiful and varied game. However, she is strong willed and won’t give up without a fight. If she continues to improve these aspects of the game, she has the potential to enter the top 5 of the WTA rankings. Currently, there is no clear leader in women’s tennis, so Yanchuk expressed hope for Kasatkina’s success.
