Former world junior number 2 Anastasia Pivovarova believes that Daria Kasatkina can go far in the Wimbledon draw as she is comfortable on grass.
On Monday, Kasatkina, who received the 11th seed, defeated American Caroline Dolhide 6:1, 6:4 in the first round of the tournament.
– Daria had a difficult first round. Dolhide is comfortable on the grass surface and could cause some inconvenience. But Kasatkina faced this opponent with confidence, and I think she can go far in the Wimbledon bracket. Daria is comfortable playing on the grass: she can both act coherently in defense and turn the tempo of the opponent upside down. Wimbledon grass is slow, so it’s very comfortable for Kasatkina. I believe we will be able to see Dasha even in the second week of Wimbledon. Therefore, I expect her to win with confidence in the second round,” Pivovarova told Gazeta.Ru.
Britain’s Jodie Burrage will be Kasatkina’s next opponent. The 26-year-old Russian’s best result at Wimbledon is in the quarter-finals in 2018.
