Former world number nine Andrei Chesnokov called the Russian’s performance successful Daria Kasatkina during a tournament in Adelaide (Australia).
On Saturday, in the final of the tournament, Kasatkina lost to Latvian representative Elena Ostapenko with a score of 3:6, 2:6.
— Kasatkina reached the final, that’s already good. We can say that it is a success. She played pretty well in the last two tournaments. The Adelaide tournament is further preparation for the Australian Open, where she will face a very tough opponent in the first round. Kasatkina played in the final, it’s a good result. The final of a WTA‑500 tournament is always an honor, but when, for example, Sabalenka loses in the final, it is a failure for her.
— Is Daria in optimal shape now?
— Last year, Daria also made it to the final of the tournament in Adelaide, and then lost to Gracheva in the first round of the Australian Open. I wish this didn’t happen this year. On the Op.“There is a slightly different atmosphere, slightly different courts,” Chesnokov told Metaratings.ru.
In personal meetings between Kasatkina and Ostapenko, the score became 6–2 in favor of the Latvian tennis player.
