Daria Kasatkina, 26, says she now perfectly understands why Maria Sharapova once said that after finishing her duties on the court she felt like leaving the office.
Kasatkina, who turned pro in 2014, has been on the WTA Tour for an entire decade now. In 2016, Kasatkina had her first full year on the Tour and since then she has been among one of the better players in women’s tennis.
“Let’s start from a small preview. When I was younger haha…when I spent the first full season in WTA in 2016 I remember my first big tournaments and GS. I was so impressed and inspired like a child during Christmas time. You’re so happy with everything. I spent all my time on site: playing matches, watching other’s matches, hanging with someone…I loved that atmosphere so much. And it filled me a lot. But unfortunately nothing lasts forever. Year by year everything is the same: the tournaments, location, vibes, people…and you treat it like your job,” Kasatkina said in a conversation with Elis Kostik.
Kasatkina: I agree here with Sharapova…
After so many years of traveling and competing throughout the entire year, Kasatkina explains that everything…
