Biography of a young tennis player
Daria was born on May 7, 1997 in Tolyatti. She became the second child in the family. Already at the age of six, the girl began to get involved in tennis. For the first time, her elder brother Alexander brought her to the sports section of this sport. He also played tennis at the amateur level and sometimes took his younger sister with him to train. And when Alexander noticed that Dasha grasps everything on the fly, he persuaded his parents to give the girl to professionals. From that moment, Kasatkina’s sports career began.
Alexander was always with Dasha. He is her trainer in physical training, as well as part-time manager and agent.
Kasatkina began to declare itself in childhood. But the first successes to the tennis player came only at the age of 14, when she began to participate in the adult group among juniors. At this time, Daria was able to win several victories in tournaments. Kasatkina’s best season was 2014, when the girl won the Grand Slam among juniors in France. She also won the doubles medal at the Youth Olympics. In the summer of that year, she became the third tennis player in the world among juniors.
A promising girl was noticed in adult tennis and was invited to participate in tournaments among professionals. At first, Kasatkina could not declare herself. The first success came to her only in 2015, when Daria, together with Elena Vesnina, won the Kremlin Cup.
Since 2016, Kasatkina began to take part in the famous Grand Slam tournaments. During this time, she managed to take part in more than 10 competitions of a similar rank. The most successful tennis player was in 2018. The girl was able to make it to the quarter finals twice at the French Open and at Wimbledon.
In 2017, Kasatkina won her first victory in the prestigious WTA series tournament. So far, she has not managed to develop this success, but the girl is not very worried about this matter and continues to train hard.
Daria lives in the Slovak city of Trnava, where all the necessary conditions for the training of tennis players are created. Courts with different coatings are everywhere. Kasatkina prefers the soil more, but on the grass does not play very well.
The most successful in the adult career of Daria was 2018. She managed to play several major tournaments and received the title of best tennis player in Russia. Now the girl is on the eleventh position in the world among women and is not going to stop there. Kasatkina also considers all these ratings conditional and constantly notes that the athlete is as good as his last game was good.
