Russian Tennis Star Daria Kasatkina Returns to Wimbledon

Top-Ten Player Reflects on Playing as a Russian

27 June 2024, 12:01 PM — Daria Sergeyevna Kasatkina, Russia's number one female tennis player, has expressed her excitement about returning to Wimbledon this year. Despite the ongoing political tensions surrounding Russia's participation in international sports, Kasatkina believes that as a Russian, she plays under the flag of fair play and respect.

Kasatkina, who made her top-ten debut in the WTA rankings towards the end of last year, is known for her powerful and aggressive style of play. She has a strong all-court game and is particularly dangerous on clay and hard courts.

Kasatkina's return to Wimbledon comes after a successful 2023 season, which saw her win two WTA titles and reach the semifinals of the French Open. She is currently ranked eighth in the world and is one of the favorites to win this year's Wimbledon title.
