Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina, who recently won the Kremlin Cup, says she loves to play in Russia.
"I love to play in Russia, I love Russian vibes," Kasatkina said on the newest episode of the WTA Insider Podcast.
“We say in Russia: At home, even walls are helping you." "Everything just happened in this day. It was the birthday of my father, everybody was there, it was the last time they play Kremlin Cup in Olympiyskiy Stadium.
“This is also why I wanted to win this year because it will be Kremlin Cup but not this Kremlin Cup. Not the one every kid wants to win.”
"So for me, it's like a fairytale. I still can't believe it,” she further added. “You could see by my reaction after the match because it's at home. Now I wish to win St. Petersburg of course.But Kremlin Cup, I think all the kids first they know Kremlin Cup, then they know Grand Slams.”
