I really like Daria's game. She's quality. Precise, she's got finesse and has good court coverage. The women's game is very interesting right now. Everything is up for grabs. No clear favorites.
well apart from double faults on service, her service is a bit slow, like 120 km/h on average, 140 mx. Wozniacki has like 160 on 2nd service. If you serve that slow against players like say Williams, you'd get a slap on your face right after
Cried tears of joy today, because after a long time i was able to watch a Women's tennis match with my new Bose speakers. When Sharapova, Azarenka, Serena and Muguruza play especially, i'm sadly forced to use ear plugs. Their blood curdling, violent, obscenely loud grunts and screeches, take away from the fun of watching tennis matches and can never be experienced on the Bose bass module speakers :-(
included with that is her immaculate use of timing. She just waits a millisecond before striking..enough to throw off the timing of her opponent. Fantastic game!
It's about time. Woz really has no weapons other than run run run and just hit the ball back and expect errors from her opponent. Daria smart enough to handle this pusher, she has great court coverage and some shots. Woz is just a big mouth. After all these years, there are no changes or improvements in her game. No pace, no power, no big target, no angle.
Andrew Pradipta, ..well, we know thats not true go back and watch the match many times Kasatkina was runing from side to side returning the ball. Both players won almost the same amount of points. Caro had many good drop shots as well, She takes the ball quicker to put the pressure back on her opponent, and her back hand is great. Last year she was the player who won most matches. And won the Finals. and is this year GS Winner. So the joke is on those people who using the old phrase "pusher"as they clearly lack the understanding of the improvement to her game or the general knowledge of tennis for that matter. ; - )
no288 So did her, running side to side every single match. Real joke is people who can't admit that her game is weak. But that's the only thing she can do, make her opponent hit another ball until they make errors (fact !!). Her backhand is not that great, she has to hit the ball with perfect height & pace to make a BETTER backhand but not great. But yes it is, her backhand is better compared to her own few years ago and her serve also. Simona Halep can do long run side to side but she still got the shots with pace, power, and angle.
no288 Yes of course tennis is about hitting the ball back and she did it. Whatever, at least she won a GS with a poor game like that and she still won lot of matches. It's like history repeat itself. When she was world number 1 many years ago, WTA was at the poor era. Top players got injured not able to compete in every single tournament or not in their best form. And it happened again last year until Australian Open. And now we see her strugling to keep up in a high level because her opponents in a good shape.
the one odd thing that stood out to me was the slow pace of Caroline's ball. it seemed as though she hit it hard but it would just float over; just the opposite of a heavy ball with pace and spin. i don't have a grudge against her; i'm just saying what appears to be the case and i'm surprised.
Daria is so talented! She’s going to be contending for grand slams, possibly even this one. Woz never does well on clay so I’m not surprised. She doesn’t have enough pace and can be easily overpowered. I don’t see her winning more slams, but Daria, Stephens, Osaka and even Keys have so much upside for big wins.
Kasatkina is super complete is her game. She's got that Russian hand like Saffin had. If she could serve faster, that'd be perfect. This jumping backhand is the shit, and I love how she breaks the rythm with the dropshots
The difference between champions like (Serena Maria Vika) with Caro are that they dont brag nor being cocky towards their opponents, while Caro won one slam n she thinks she owns the tour 👎
3 times this year Daria has defeated Wozniacki already. I think generally pushers have a very difficult time playing players that are spin heavy. If you take away early 2 clay games prior to Kvitova (who's curve heavy) entering top 20 between her and Carolina, then Kvitova leads 8-3. Nothing to take away from Daria though, she is playing well but it's a good win against Wozniacki.
Wow scintillating tennis from Kasatkina. No screaming or howling no drama. Pure tennis. She retrieves impossible balls. She is a great hope for womens tennis.
Commentators on Sunday mentioned her coach said shes an artist so she gives her minimal instruction. Daria really is an artist, holy Piccaso / Dali . Angles and patience
Dara Kasa is some Athlete. She made some amazing gets and on defence she's unreal. I think if she gets a bit more power on her groundstrokes she'll be top ten material soon.
this match i a great spot for the sport of tennis. very intense , without all that shoiting , but not , for this, of inferior level. This is what WTA should bring on as an example and not the unwatchable type of players Sharapova type
Daria has a strange ball spin that can disturb her opponent's rithm. The longer the rally she can employ that spin more often. Woz cannot penetrate her cause she is also defensive player. That's why she has a bad record against Daria
included with that is her immaculate use of timing. She just waits a millisecond before striking..enough to throw off the timing of her opponent. Fantastic game!
Wozniacki doesn't deserve the no.2 ranking...even worse if Halep loses before final shell take over no.1. She moonballs every match she plays in like kids learning to play tennis.
David Moss, what an idiotic statement, the moonball is to mix up the game, to change the pace, it's a perfect tactic to either throw off their opponents rhythm or cause them trouble because they rise up high above the shoulders. - And yes she deserve her ranking as she had fought her way back from being ranked at 74 back in 2016.
Once in a while when your on the run yes...but every match? Its amature and as a no 2 player you should be hitting/ working on your groundstrokes not moonballing 4 shots in a row...even the crowd laughs at it and commentators try not to. People pay money to watch these matches...you don't see Serena, Maria, or Vika doing shit like this.
David Moss I have seen Sharapova moonballing. Your comments is pointless as she did hit moonballs but immediately she start playing agressive again so... Accept it.
Kasatkina was clearly much better and that is why she won. I am a fan of Caroline but I am surprised that she did not win the first set after being 5-3 up. I always thought she was tougher mentally and yet she has not won a tournament since the Australian Open. There were matches that she should have won but managed to lose, like against Kvitova in Doha SF and the match against Puig in Miami.
Caroline has a nice solid game. She has a Slam. which is great. Compared to Daria though , she is a grinder. The youngster really has more of everything in touch, variety and spin. She is patient and thinks the game so well. Her match play can only improve so bring it on!
If you watch Woz in the previous round, she looks like a different player. Here her pace and depth are considerably less. It could be the Russian's game, but I think perhaps Ms. W. had a bad day.
Dasha played really well. Unfortunately RG won't upload her previous matches so we could she how she has grown in to the tournament. She is more like a chess player trying to dictate the point and thus dictate the game.
Caroline should had won the first set. She was up 5-3, and also ahead in the tie break with 4-2 Even though they won almost the same amount of points Daria just happen to win the important ones. Too bad though as Caro could had stand a good chance against Sloane Stephens. ... However i wouldn't be surprised if Kasatkina could go all the way, she can beat the best, good luck
no288 That's right !! She wastes all the chances on that first set and even in the second. Exactly the same happened on Indian Wells... She needs to work on that.
Santy Tenis M, I don't think its something you can work on as its only happens when you're playing a match. However Kasatkina' serve was really bad, she should has taken advantage of that. Still I really like her drops shots, its good to see that Caro is doing more of those ; - )
A lot of ppl call Kasatkinas game boring, but I find it very interesting. The finesse she has is very rarely seen in the WTA. However Her serve was pure crap this whole match even today. She needs to work on that.
Victor Lupas There were ppl all over Twitter saying it. I follow a lot of tennis enthusiasts accounts and a number of then said the same thing. I just don't get it
i have not seen the highlights of this match. i know though that kasatkina is a pusher. court coverage,finesse and being precise, i am not o sure of that. kasatkina is a pusher and sometimes conter punch and rarely attacks... she is a pusher like murray is. problem with women i think is that they dont attack enough, not enough power, their net game is absolutely horrible, so they lose the point almost every time they come at the net . in ments tennis you see something different when the ball gets high they attack it. in womens tennis they do a defense shot when they should attack. Halep, Sharapova( althogh i hate her) ostapenko aregood examples of players who does not count only in consistency but in power, of confidence, of trying to take the initiative. sad to see most women dont dare to do that too much. daria is even more of a pusher then wozniacki is.combat of pushers resulst in theone that pushes more wins...sad...
Kasatkina knows how to work with Wozniacki. Daria shows really interesting game. Good job!
Ksenia Sokol her 2nd serve needs more power though
I really like Daria's game. She's quality. Precise, she's got finesse and has good court coverage.
The women's game is very interesting right now. Everything is up for grabs. No clear favorites.
She plays intelligently within her current limits, which is a sign of ... intelligence.
the thing to improve is mainly the service. She has to make it better if she wants to be among the bests. But she's young. It will come.
well apart from double faults on service, her service is a bit slow, like 120 km/h on average, 140 mx. Wozniacki has like 160 on 2nd service. If you serve that slow against players like say Williams, you'd get a slap on your face right after

Their blood curdling, violent, obscenely loud grunts and screeches, take away from the fun of watching tennis matches and can never be experienced on the Bose bass module speakers :-(
Juan Dois Halep is a first class screecher now also.
Stop watching women tennis then, women do scream a lot if you know what i mean.
Okay we got you advertise Bose here
I am so happy Kasatkina won! She played so well. I see a lot of potential here
CONGRATS!! Daria :) avid fan of yours all the way from the Philippines...
Soar high and bring home the title...
👍💪
Kasatkina - the future of russian tennis! 🇷🇺🎾👏
Andrey Khaustov and you moron too!
Andrey Khaustov Who else is the future?
Andrey Khaustov you lost your bet freak! You're a loser in life! Don't answer a more stupid, brainless idiot! Go get treated!
Nathan Lifska he doesn't know anything about tennis! Don't talk to this stupid idiot! he is a bet player and loser for life!
She’s an amazing player. Once she starts to take care of her first serves she’ll be a slam champion.
LOVE DARIA!!!!
Kasatkina = smart tennis
included with that is her immaculate use of timing. She just waits a millisecond before striking..enough to throw off the timing of her opponent. Fantastic game!
This is the kind of tennis I like to see. No screaming, excellent tennis.
Kasatkinas' defence from the base line is outrageous. She makes it really tough for the opponent to get the point
Daria Kasatkina is a Genius.
Daria definitively one of the big contenders this year!
Santiago Viteri, no doubt about it ; )
Sorry sloane is going to take her out.
Maybe only on clay. We will see how she performs at Wimbledon, and the U.S. Hard court circuit.
She did, great guess.
It's about time. Woz really has no weapons other than run run run and just hit the ball back and expect errors from her opponent. Daria smart enough to handle this pusher, she has great court coverage and some shots. Woz is just a big mouth. After all these years, there are no changes or improvements in her game.

Andrew Pradipta wozniacki improved her service very well... And her backhand is great as well.
Paddy Irawan Yes but only compared to her own. She can't keep up with others. Anyone could beat her anyday anytime.
no288 So did her, running side to side every single match. Real joke is people who can't admit that her game is weak. But that's the only thing she can do, make her opponent hit another ball until they make errors (fact !!).

Rand U especially on the forehand side. She really cannot generate pace on that side also the clay is slowing down the ball
Rand U I thought the same thing watching the match. I'm assuming it was due to playing on clay. But her shots seemed much slower than usual.
She can’t produce power she normally relies on the other player but kasatkina was playing very slow.
I don't know, I wonder why Caro is not that good on clay even though she is definitely someone who you can call a "defensive player" or a grinder.
Aleksei Meleshenko she doesn’t know how to slide that’s why
Kasatkina has a great future ahead of her. This result does not at all surprise me
You're spreading your cancer over the WTA too now?
i knew Kasatkina would win...
Thomas brunkle I’ll be waiting to roast the hell out of you when novak wins. And italian is out
Rodion 8 Lol u mad kiddo?
Rodion 8 Oooooooops.........what happened kiddo?
Good job, Daria!
Cmon Dariaaaaa!!! 🔥 no doubts...
Daria is so talented! She’s going to be contending for grand slams, possibly even this one.
Woz never does well on clay so I’m not surprised. She doesn’t have enough pace and can be easily overpowered. I don’t see her winning more slams, but Daria, Stephens, Osaka and even Keys have so much upside for big wins.
daria the great.
Kasatkina is super complete is her game. She's got that Russian hand like Saffin had. If she could serve faster, that'd be perfect. This jumping backhand is the shit, and I love how she breaks the rythm with the dropshots
Perfect match, energy was good from both the players, but credit goes to Daria was indeed better.
Congratulations and thank you Daria for beating that Golden Retriever!
starside7 don’t insult golden, they’re at least pretty☺️
starside7 LThe best comment !!!LOLOLOLOLOL .... Laughing right now. Anyway golden is so cute (i mean real Golden Retriever)
Love Kasatkina's style and versatility. Cute, strong and humble-enough girl. I hope you go far Dasha!
Kasatkina has some good talent to become a number one player in the future.
definitely has to beef up that service game
I agree she and Muguruza
Please stop she does not and she is a little fat and short it is not happening.
Wozniacki be like “I can beat anyone on tour right now”. Me: Sure honey 😂😂.
Luís Jardim , she bragged like that before the French open began, seeing herself as the favourite to beat at Roland Garros.
Luís Jardim I bet sharapova is happy
She still has not beaten Ostapenko and Johanna Konta.
The difference between champions like (Serena Maria Vika) with Caro are that they dont brag nor being cocky towards their opponents, while Caro won one slam n she thinks she owns the tour 👎
Ricc Lee precisely , eversince she lambasted sharapova I turn off from her , no humility
3 times this year Daria has defeated Wozniacki already. I think generally pushers have a very difficult time playing players that are spin heavy. If you take away early 2 clay games prior to Kvitova (who's curve heavy) entering top 20 between her and Carolina, then Kvitova leads 8-3.
Nothing to take away from Daria though, she is playing well but it's a good win against Wozniacki.
Wow scintillating tennis from Kasatkina. No screaming or howling no drama. Pure tennis. She retrieves impossible balls. She is a great hope for womens tennis.
Great Tennis Daria, you will be better and better. I wish you good lucky. Czech rep.
It'll be great if this channel could put both of the competitors on the thumbnail so that it doesn't spoil who won the match. Thanks
Commentators on Sunday mentioned her coach said shes an artist so she gives her minimal instruction. Daria really is an artist, holy Piccaso / Dali . Angles and patience
let's go my champion!
Daria’s a great young player!
Please stop putting the winner in the thumbnail. It ruins the match for the viewer
Dara Kasa is some Athlete. She made some amazing gets and on defence she's unreal. I think if she gets a bit more power on her groundstrokes she'll be top ten material soon.
Kasatkina the future ,solid control from the baseline and power just needs to mature little more and work on her serve and you have a beast
Dasha Kasatkina... is my idol.. my life l!!!♥️♥️♥️
Que poco público... Ya me gustaría a mi estar ahi
Love u Daria !!!
Epic game Daria, Top class
Kasatkina is a Modern Day Mauresmo. Nice to see that we still have Creative Players on Tour.
so quiet yet so good
I am glad you won not her.
Love u and Halep 😚😚😚
I think they sped up the points. Does anyone else notice this?
I love when Caro lose, and I love seeing that Bitterface unsportmanship like of Caro's every time she lose in big stage.
this match i a great spot for the sport of tennis. very intense , without all that shoiting , but not , for this, of inferior level. This is what WTA should bring on as an example and not the unwatchable type of players Sharapova type
Dasha great job one of the future talent in tennis the best hand at this time reminds me Justine Henin 🙂on clay
Daria is fantastic!
This match is unusually quiet.......
Who else thinks that their shots were SOO slow. It's like they were dying on the court.
David :D only 40% speed comparing to Serena vs Sharapova rallies
make it 25 %
It´s the camera's position... obviously.
Pushers
Kasatkina is anything but a pusher. She's got one of the best FHs in the WTA and if anything, her FH is more like the men's.
Daria’s game is legit
I can't with Caroline UGHHHHHHHHH
Good deal. Bye bye Woz. WTG, Daria K. Wonderful player!
Daria has a strange ball spin that can disturb her opponent's rithm. The longer the rally she can employ that spin more often.
Woz cannot penetrate her cause she is also defensive player. That's why she has a bad record against Daria
included with that is her immaculate use of timing. She just waits a millisecond before striking..enough to throw off the timing of her opponent. Fantastic game!
Умничка, Даша!
Wozniacki doesn't deserve the no.2 ranking...even worse if Halep loses before final shell take over no.1. She moonballs every match she plays in like kids learning to play tennis.
all right! You and Halep both are losers.
David Moss, what an idiotic statement, the moonball is to mix up the game, to change the pace, it's a perfect tactic to either throw off their opponents rhythm or cause them trouble because they rise up high above the shoulders. - And yes she deserve her ranking as she had fought her way back from being ranked at 74 back in 2016.

Its amature and as a no 2 player you should be hitting/ working on your groundstrokes not moonballing 4 shots in a row...even the crowd laughs at it and commentators try not to. People pay money to watch these matches...you don't see Serena, Maria, or Vika doing shit like this.
David Moss I have seen Sharapova moonballing. Your comments is pointless as she did hit moonballs but immediately she start playing agressive again so... Accept it.
your argument is pointless just like her game...lol
Kasatkina was clearly much better and that is why she won. I am a fan of Caroline but I am surprised that she did not win the first set after being 5-3 up. I always thought she was tougher mentally and yet she has not won a tournament since the Australian Open. There were matches that she should have won but managed to lose, like against Kvitova in Doha SF and the match against Puig in Miami.
Wozniacki plays on clay better than last year. But it's not enough to win over kind of top20 players.
Меня эта игра Даши Касаткиной очень удивила!😱😱😱😱
Caroline has a nice solid game. She has a Slam. which is great. Compared to Daria though , she is a grinder. The youngster really has more of everything in touch, variety and spin. She is patient and thinks the game so well. Her match play can only improve so bring it on!
Bravo Kasatik!!!
If you watch Woz in the previous round, she looks like a different player. Here her pace and depth are considerably less. It could be the Russian's game, but I think perhaps Ms. W. had a bad day.
lebarosky The match was so close... She didn't take her chances.
Good match from Kasatkina
Daria!!
sloane beats katsakina, and sloane wins the french open
Dasha played really well. Unfortunately RG won't upload her previous matches so we could she how she has grown in to the tournament. She is more like a chess player trying to dictate the point and thus dictate the game.
Every match they had Caroline lost she can’t beat her
Молодец Даша 👍💪
0:26 Gael, it´s you?
Pushniaki got outpushed. Respekt.
Wow!
It's a grand slam. Come on start playing 3 sets.
They do play 3 sets.
Go Kasatkina!
Seriously! match highlights in 2-3 minutes 🤷🏻♂️
isn't kasatkina the one with a strange first name? it says daria but isn't she called something else?
Kasatkina, Wozniacki's nightmare. Love this baby tennis pro.
3 times she beat caroll😂😂😂
Caroline should had won the first set. She was up 5-3, and also ahead in the tie break with 4-2 Even though they won almost the same amount of points Daria just happen to win the important ones. Too bad though as Caro could had stand a good chance against Sloane Stephens. ... However i wouldn't be surprised if Kasatkina could go all the way, she can beat the best, good luck

I don’t know how Woz won the Aussi Open tbh.
kasatkina's serve was too weak today . She has to improve it if she wants to go far
shinnosuke nohara yes, totally. Actually she has a very solid serve. But something is wrong with her arm. There is a tape
Good for her, but I'm pissed Serena withdrew from the tournament!
It's a bit scarry , Woznicacki played perfect
Dasha is so damn beautiful
Am i the only one who think Caroline doesn’t deserve to be in the ranking she is in now? Like if Halep losses the next match, Caro will be no.1
Amine ben So... that's Simo's fault, not Wozniacki's. Is not her fault that Simo lacks of mental strength.
Even if Halep loses the QF match Wozniacki will not be No.1 unless Muguruza fails to reach the final.
Poussin Hamzah Tomorrow we will get the answers
Wooo-hooo
A lot of ppl call Kasatkinas game boring, but I find it very interesting. The finesse she has is very rarely seen in the WTA. However Her serve was pure crap this whole match even today. She needs to work on that.
OptimistHunter Reel i saw nobody calling her boring
Victor Lupas There were ppl all over Twitter saying it. I follow a lot of tennis enthusiasts accounts and a number of then said the same thing. I just don't get it
Sakkari played better than Wozniacki!
Fact. You're Greece people should be really proud of her. She is so good fighter.
FloidMr yes, but she hasn't win anything yet :(
No grunts!!!!!!
They scream together after the match
She didn`t again))
Kasatkina pasando bolas y sacando a dos por hora está en cuartos
Pablo Puente De acuerdo...
Anyone can beat the Woz...nice body...face not so much.
Nr 2... ahahaha...cheerio Ugliacki
Wozniacki is so damned passive. Kasatkina's serve is abominable -- why didn't Caroline just clobber it?
I don't remember Wonzniaki was such a pusher. Sure she was kind of defensive player, but she didn't push this high though.
i have not seen the highlights of this match. i know though that kasatkina is a pusher. court coverage,finesse and being precise, i am not o sure of that. kasatkina is a pusher and sometimes conter punch and rarely attacks... she is a pusher like murray is. problem with women i think is that they dont attack enough, not enough power, their net game is absolutely horrible, so they lose the point almost every time they come at the net . in ments tennis you see something different when the ball gets high they attack it. in womens tennis they do a defense shot when they should attack. Halep, Sharapova( althogh i hate her) ostapenko aregood examples of players who does not count only in consistency but in power, of confidence, of trying to take the initiative. sad to see most women dont dare to do that too much. daria is even more of a pusher then wozniacki is.combat of pushers resulst in theone that pushes more wins...sad...
Bwin
so satisfying to see her lose
Wozniacki is mediocre
POLSKA KURWA!
Pfffffffffffff..,,nothing more to add
