Kasatkina shows off variety in St. Petersburg

Published Feb 01, 2018

Daria Kastakina is doing her part to put on a show in St. Petersburg this week. The 20-year-old Russian, playing in front of a home crowd, needed three sets to win her first round over qualifier Viktoria Kuzmova.

Kastakina would rely on her incredible array of shots to pull through, including a sneaky lob that earned her shot of the day. She has a secret for bouncing back after an early exit in Melbourne, spending time in Barcelona to recharge.

Kastakina improved rapidly in her next match, taking out Alize Cornet in two swift sets on Wednesday. She has earned a chance to knock off world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinals.
