Athletistic/Tennis. Former Russian tennis player and now coach Dmitry Tursunov expressed his opinion on what Daria Kasatkina needs to do to achieve better results.

“Without going into too much detail, I think she may need to diversify her arsenal because it is limited in some ways. Her game is somewhat predictable. But again, it comes down to whether she wants to make this or not. If a person does not, strive for change and development, it is difficult to push him to this. She has a certain style that suits her and is understandable as a player.

The same can be said about Arina Sabalenka and you can’t force her to run and throw candles at the ceiling. She is unlikely to be comfortable with this. But again, the question is how much a person wants to improve their results.

If you look at the top players like Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Murray, they all changed their game in one way or another. Rafa, for example, changed his serve several times, as well as his hitting technique and his position on the court. If Dasha is ready for such changes, then cooperation with the coach and the team begins.

But her game now has its limits, and she will have to suffer the consequences more and more. With age, it becomes more difficult to recover and move around the field, and if your game depends heavily on this, then movement suffers in the first place,” Tursunov noted on the Dychkovsky YouTube channel.
