I love Dasha. She’s always so bubbly and engaging. She has to be one the most liked players on tour!

[@antjobert]

She's bubbly and engaging now because she can finally be herself and be open with her girlfriend. She went through some heavy depression before she came out. I'm so glad for her and like to see her happy and doing well.

[@Olechkaice]

Dasha is the sweetest

[@KowalskyLeon]

Daria is very kind, nice, sympatic person. And she is pretty too.

[@almanns.batiao9516]

Yes, very pretty and lovely!

[@BoFrazer]

Her girlfriend Natalia is absolutely stunning. One of the prettiest women I have ever seen. 😍

[@yvesmamas2982]

I can't help falling in love with Dasha, she's just so likeable and funny!! good luck with the tournament, cheering for you

[@joelmvdqp]

It would be cool if Daria's vlog was featured on Tennis channel.

[@alexjourba]

To have Martina in WTV is great possibility! Go on please!

[@danpeak]

Dasha is refreshingly honest❤😂

[@Dumballa]

Love Dasha and Martina 😊

[@vivien3870]

her accent is so cute i just love her

[@alyonam]

I still can't believe that you can now track such great personalities almost as thought they were right next to you. I remember how I watched Martina at Wimbledon back in 1990, 1991 - she's already been a legend, and I discovered a beauty of a grass tennis with her amazing play. And now I'm following her interviewing Daria, who is by far the most enjoyable, lovely, touching player of today, and whom I'm following closely thanks to Natasha and What the Blog! BTW, the same Summer I discovered Martina, John McEnroe and Wimbledon, I also watched first Russian beauty contests - and of course I remember Julia Lemigova! She stood out among other competitors with her intelligent, a bit cold, royal style. All the luck to you, dear ladies; all four of you are living legends and role models for many, many people. Спасибо, and Děkuji. God save you.

[@renukadezoysa5373]

I love Dasha. As well as Natasha. Pure and beautiful souls. Happy to watch your interviews and vlogs. All the best for future matches Dasha. Keep it up and stay strong 🫶😘💪🍀

[@anaanchundia5317]

So sad how about her missing the Olympics, but she has her reasons and it’s very understandable 👏🏼 Dasha❤

[@WonderWhatHappened]

Daria Kasatkina and Alexander Bublik are my favorite tennis players.

[@PVNInteriors]

Dasha is the best! Love her and Natasha’s vlog.

[@aleksro4907]

Always enjoying Dasha’s interviews! She is such a sweet and open minded person very pleasant to listen to! Good luck! It could be a tough match with Badosa!

[@frankburns456]

Martina next up for the Wimbledon vlog episode # Legend #as are Dasha & Natasha # Wimbledon 2024🎾🥰

[@user-ig2qh1pk8g]

dasha is a star love natalia and dasha love and best Vlog on tennis

[@SeanT649]

She needs more confidence in herself .I knew that she had big results on grass in her ,excellent serve, great mover, great hands ,great slice and as good as anyone in the forecourt . Needs to realise where her strengths are before she can maximise them .I think she’s cruising and that’s at 12 in the world 😂😂😂😂she’s ridiculously talented .

[@Ed23038]

Congratulations Daria

[@polinkhabinets1289]

Great tennis player and also a great person Good luck ❤🎉

[@Enjoywatchingyoutube8227]

Good interview, hope she can go deep into the tournament.

[@user-re5fq5ew9w]

🙏

[@alexrodriguez5370]

Love Daria!!! Her personal story and her conviction (Ukrainian war). Wish her ONLY the best!!

[@alexlackner1945]

Her slice serve bounces low and is less attackable on grass, i think that's the main reason she's doing well here. Holding serve is and has always been her biggest issue.

[@Joanpique]

Dashaaa congrats

[@ZdenekKopecky-wg8bx]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Dasho,jste skvělá a ve Wimbledonu zarite.Letos jste královna na trávě.Moc Vám ty úspěchy přeju a zasloužite si je. Vstříc 3.kolu a doufejme že i finále.

OMG! Are we gonna see Martina in the girls' vlog??? Sooo waiting to see it next week-end!!!

[@saksit247]

Easy player to root for.

[@wiktordabrowski8648]

She is so cuteeeee❤

[@thysmulder1741]

very modest. Thats refreshing. She's a complete player

[@cjdrv]

LOVE HER !!! 😍🥰❤️

[@laurentlucchini9298]

Daria Kasatkina is a very nice and kind woman

[@alexrodriguez5370]

I do worry about her safety.

[@BoFrazer]

Me too, but that’s why they live in Paris. Maybe she feels she can never go home again. 😞🤷‍♂️

[@rafarequeni822]

@@BoFrazer They live in Barcelona, actually - that had been Kasatkina's dream since she was little -, but yes, I agree with the sentiment.

[@BoFrazer]

@@rafarequeni822 oh, thanks for the update. Beautiful diverse city of art, I am sure they’re pretty relaxed there. 💙

[@malibu_rum]

A shame that she isn't going to Paris (especially having a good record on clay and RG semifinal before), but respect to her standing up for what she believes in!

[@eduarddin9172]

Даша рядом с Мартиной, такая честь и удача

[@fishdrew1111]

Roger Federer said something a few weeks ago in his Commencement speech for Dartmouth University that got me thinking about your research into other peoples' meaning of victory. He said that statistics showed that over his entire career he only won 54% of all the points he ever played. 54 per cent! Since tennis is played between two hard-working, disciplined athletes who are so closely matched, I wondered if we should be celebrating BOTH athletes after each match--especially when we've had the privilege of seeing incredible matches like Rybakina-Kasatkina Montreal 2023 (at 3:45 in the morning!) or Kasatkina-Pegula 2024 semis in Charleston, or Badosa-Kasatkina Wimbledon 2024--especially when the players truly have a lot of respect / admiration and/or love for each other--why can't we consider both athletes "victorious" and therefore, interview both players together. Despite the residue from the tension-filled battle that ensued, I think it would be entertaining and insightful to see BOTH players interviewed TOGETHER--especially when your goal is to spread KINDNESS and LOVE to the world (hopefully by your own examples). Anyway, just wondering. After feeling SO PRIVILEGED to have been able to watch incredible athletic performances, I'd just like to see REAL LIFE reactions (not cat fights or fist fights) by MATURE HUMAN BEINGS in the aftermath.

[@adilfmir]

Won Eastbourne and has dropped 3 games in 2 rounds so far. She is a darkhorse this Wimbledon

[@alexlackner1945]

She's won Eastbourne before, Wimbledon is a different beast. I don't really see her win a Grand Slam, she's a crafty player but lacks real weapons and tends to freeze up in key moments. On the other hand, if Vondrousova has won it, Dasha has a chance as well...

[@yevgenymelnik7370]

​@@alexlackner1945I agree with your logic, but fact are: it was her first title on grass, that she has just won in Eastbourne. And she seems to have improved her game on grass significantly! If she beats Badosa - really expecting her in the semis. And then who knows what can happen in last matches...

[@jjns5600]

It's funny with Dasha being interviewed with Navratilova, because she reminds me so much of Navratilova when she was young! I'm a Dasha fan!

[@user-ih9fj1yi4t]

❤❤❤

[@akikopiszczuk9975]

❤ love Dasha❤

[@anonimanonim7018]

Este o jucatoare plăcută și captivantă , are mult talent !

[@ZdenekKopecky-wg8bx]

❤❤❤❤❤❤Držím palce do 3kola s Badosou❤❤❤❤❤❤ Úžasný začátek v Londýně moc vám přeju i super závěr v sobotu 13. odpoledne s tím nejlepším talířem světa

[@StewNWT]

Why the F is she skipping the Olympics??? That's crazy she's one of the best players on clay

[@user-dt8dj9bu4t]

She doesn't want to participate because of her stance on Putin's war on Ukraine. She thinks she can't participate in the Olympics while the country she is from is waging a war on innocent people. It really is a shame that she'll miss it, but she has good reason to.

[@nikolaysusik8617]

She is weary try ! Love !

[@Iris-ss8nb]

[@simianmoonstudios]

She's skipping the Olympics because she literally has no home. She publicly denounced Vladimir Putin''s war on Ukraine. 💙💛💙💛💙💛

[@meloch1969]

Blah Blah Blah

[@user-ex8fk5bi2e]

Она не осуждала Путина,не надо придумывать и наговаривать,она говорила совсем о другом.Не надо на Дашу вешать пятно.

[@davd1986]

It’s not Putin’s war. It’s another American proxy war. They thought Russia could be bullied like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. They were wrong.

[@Iris-ss8nb]

IT

[@BoFrazer]

Dasha is making me 😢❤ She’s got some family who Putin could make trouble for, so she keeps it low key, but the whole Olympics thing is pretty obvious. She’s as embarrassed by Putin as I was about Trump.

[@melatomic]

Lovin’ the rats new hair do without believing the hype

[@davd1986]

Most of the Russians don't want to be subjects of ridiculous discrimination. That's part of the reason why a lot of them are 'skipping' the Olympics.

[@1967MLP]

Darija is being bullied by her 'partner' to exhaust herself so that her partner can take her money. Hate me now, but unfortunately I am correct

[@baretruth8438]

She got to change her lifestyle.

[@alexlackner1945]

In what way?

[@deborahjohnson4458]

No one wants your pathetic opinion

[@keithzebrowski5169]

No she doesn't She is playing her best tennis because she is happy. She can't go home because of the laws Russia has. Plus it's not a lifestyle

[@7troyfreund]

Lifestyle!? 😂.

[@redplague]

I wish they would stop going on about their childish blog.

[@user-sf8jj2ed9g]

How is it childish? It gives much better insight into the players lives than the official WTA channel does.

[@alexlackner1945]

@@user-sf8jj2ed9g that's true but it does get old a bit. We get it, Natasha needs something to do as well. But it's usually the same tournaments and same players reappearing.

[@user-sf8jj2ed9g]

​@@alexlackner1945 Surely not. They can't possibly be playing the same tournaments and seeing the same colleagues. That's impossible 🙃

[@ofunelewa1747]

⁠@@alexlackner1945 so, they play the same tournaments every year against the same players! Wow!
