WATCH: Gavrilova discusses her video fails

Published Apr 24, 2020

Daria Gavrilova has been posting up a storm on Instagram (and TikTok) and finally got the recognition she deserves. On Friday's episode of *Tennis United*, co-host Bethanie Mattek-Sands chose the Aussie dancing as her top social post of the week.

"Because straight-up the dancing in those thin heels going all the way down, I just felt all the pain in my knees," Mattek-Sands said.

Gavrilova came on the show to discuss her dance skills.

"Some people thought that I thought that I was good," she said. "That I posted it because I'm good, but actually I posted it because of how bad I am. This was just for fun."

The 26-year-old is embracing all her new free time to make goofy videos, especially if they fail.

"That was a TikTok. I saw that and I was like, OK surely we can try," Gavrilova said. "We're athletes, we can do it, and then we completely failed."

She called out Heather Watson for doing the move perfectly with her boyfriend, soccer player Courtney Duffus.

Watson and Duffus have really been showing off:

"That's what I appreciate about you, you put the fails out there," Mattek-Sands said of Gavrilova. "Otherwise I'm like, 'Damn, is just everyone this talented?'"
