Daria Sergeyevna Kasatkina[lower-alpha 1] (Russian: Дарья Сергеевна Касаткина; born 7 May 1997[1]) is a Russian tennis player. On 11 April 2016, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 32 and peaked at world number 53 in doubles.

Kasatkina, coached by Vladimir Platenik from Slovakia, has won seven singles titles on the ITF tour and one WTA doubles title on in her career. She also won the girls' singles tournament at the French Open in June 2014, defeating Ivana Jorović in three sets in the final.[2] [3]

Career

Early life

Daria was born 7 May 1997 in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast. Her father, Sergey, works at the Volga Automobile Plant, and her mother, Tatyana, is a house wife.[4][5] Tatyana is a Candidate Master of Sports in athletics and Sergey – in ice hockey. Her brother Aleksandr brought her to tennis.[6]

Kasatkina took the racket at age six. When she was 11 she was coached by Maxim Prasolov.[7] Three years later her new coach became Damir Rishatovich Nurgaliev, a well-known tennis coach in the Samara Oblast. The fourteen-years old won her first tournament at the fourth-graded Samara Cup. A year later she debuted at Grand Slam junior tournaments. She started her professional career in 2013.[4][5] Within a year, from year-end 2014 to 2015, Kasatkina jumped 300 ranking positions.[6]

2015: Grand Slam debut, first WTA doubles title

Kasatkina made her senior Grand Slam debut at the US Open in the main draw as a lucky loser in 2015, after Maria Sharapova withdrew due to injury. She beat Daria Gavrilova and Ana Konjuh to make the third round, losing to Kristina Mladenovic.[8] She won her first career doubles title at the 2015 Kremlin Cup with Elena Vesnina. She also reached semifinals in singles as a qualifier, defeating Carla Suárez Navarro in the quarterfinals before falling to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.[9]

2016: First Top-10 win, Fed Cup debut

At the 2016 ASB Classic, Kasatkina scored the biggest victory of her career, defeating defending champion, seven-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one Venus Williams in the first round in three sets. At the Australian Open she was drawn against 27th seed Anna Karolína Schmiedlová in the first round and won in straight sets. She then won in straight sets over Konjuh in the second round, but lost to world no. 1 Serena Williams in the third round in 44 minutes.

Kasatkina debuted at the 2016 Fed Cup against the Netherlands in the first round, winning the dead rubber in doubles with Ekaterina Makarova. Then, in St. Petersburg, she had the best result among the Russian participants, reaching the semifinals in singles, falling to Belinda Bencic.

At the 2016 Qatar Total Open, Kasatkina and doubles partner Elena Vesnina rematched No. 1 duo Hingis/Mirza, whom they previously lost to in St. Petersburg. The Russian duo also broke the best-ranked duo's winning-streak record of 41 winning matches in a row.[10]

Following this, Kasatkina debuted at the 2016 BNP Paribas Open where she reached her first Premier Mandatory quarterfinal with wins over Daniela Hantuchová, Anna-Lena Friedsam, Mónica Puig and twelfth seed Timea Bacsinszky before falling to eighteenth seed Karolína Plíšková in straight sets. Kasatkina also paired up with compatriot Elena Vesnina in the doubles but the pair lost in the second round to eventual finalists Karolína Plíšková and Julia Görges in three sets. Following this tournament, Kasatkina reached a career high in singles and doubles.

The next tournament Kasatkina entered for was the 2016 Miami Open where she defeated Kateryna Bondarenko in the first round.[11] In the second round she lost to Simona Halep.[12] Kasatkina's rankings in singles and doubles again reached a new career high.

In Charleston, Kasatkina won her 100th match in WTA and ITF combined, by defeating the Chinese Zheng Saisai in straight sets.[13] She reached the quarterfinals, where she was defeated by eventual champion Sloane Stephens. At the 2016 French Open, Kasatkina won her first two matches in three sets. She beat Anna-Lena Friedsam and Virginie Razzano in the first two rounds. In the third round, she lost to Kiki Bertens in a hard fought three set match 6-2, 3-6, 8-10.

Personal life

Kasatkina prefers watching men's over women's tennis, her favourite tennis player is Rafael Nadal.[14] Darya also enjoys watching football, and is a fan of FC Barcelona.[15]
