Daria Kasatkina couldn´t believe that a person celebrated her and Iga Swiatek´s Australian Open exits by tagging them and poking fun at them by wishing “a nice flight home.”
On Thursday, 14th-seeded Kasatkina exited the Australian Open in the second round following a loss to Sloane Stephens. In what was a very tricky matchup, Kasatkina made a positive start but 2017 US Open champion Stephens came back from a set down to beat the Russian 4-6 6-3 6-3.
Two days later, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek shockingly suffered a third-round defeat at Melbourne Park. Despite being up by a set in a matchup in which she was highly favored, Swiatek ended on the losing side after 19-year-old Linda Noskova recovered from a set down to stun the top-seeded Pole 3-6 6-3 6-4.
“@DKasatkina @iga_swiatek have a nice flight home,” one person wrote on X.
After seeing the post, Kasatkina was left stunned, writing: “Are those people real? I refuse to share same planet with them.”
