Daria Kasatkina has already finished a season as part of the top ten players in the world twice. In 2018, we achieved a perfect landing with tenth place. In 2022, eighth place followed at the end of the year, which is also the 27-year-old’s best career placement to date.

Currently ranked ninth in the world, Kasatkina is not far away from a new career high. Before her triumph in Ningbo last Sunday, the Russian had already won a title in Eastbourne in July.

Grand Slam results are missing in 2024

There were also two titles on the WTA Tour just two years ago. But this season feels even better for Kasatkina because, according to her own statement, she feels more stable than ever before, especially in the mental area. An important part of showing consistent performance on a weekly basis.

However, the eight-time title holder went one better in terms of sport in 2022 by reaching the semi-finals at the US Open. This year, no Grand Slam went past the third round. A clear sign of where the improvement can lie for a new career high.

But the points at the WTA Finals could also contribute. Kasatkina is fighting with Emma Navarro for the last place for the tournament in Riyadh. The necessary points should be added this week at the 500cc tournament in Tokyo.
