“Daria Kasatkina = tennis for the soul” – Twitter reacts to the Russian’s win over Camila Giorgi

Daria Kasatkina stormed into the quarter finals of the Roland Garros with a 6-2, 6-2 win against Camila Giorgi

20th seed Daria Kasatkina continued her ruthless form at Roland Garros, defeating No.28 seed Camila Giorgi 6-2, 6-2 in 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach her third major quarter-final. The former World No.10 is yet to drop a set and has conceded just 14 games in four matches so far. She will now face No.29 seed Veronika Kudermetova in the last eight.

With this win, Kasatkina’s impressive win-loss ratio for the season now stands at 22-10. She dropped just four games against Camila Giorgi to return to the Roland Garros quarterfinals for the first time since 2018. Kasatkina improved her head-to-head against Giorgi to 2-0, having previously beaten the Italian in the 2020 Lyon quarterfinals.

Fans react to Kasatkina’s dominating victory at Roland Garros

Tennis fans and followers are particularly impressed by Darks Kasatkina’s display against Camila Giorgi. They were quick to share their reactions on Twitter after the match.

“Nice to see her dealing with big hitters so well, too (even on clay). Have been her kryptonite these past few years – and won’t get easier with Keys or Kudermetova waiting”, wrote a fan. We now know that Kasatkina will face Kudermetova in the quarters.

A particularly impressed Kasatkina fan backed her to go all the way – “Daria has been a favorite of mine for years. Makes it all look so simple, when she’s relaxed & confident. Plays a no nonsense no time wasting controlled hitting style of game. She’s a former RG junior champ & would make a worthy champ in ‘22. Go Daria!”

A fan, over-whelmed with Kasatkina’s game, wrote – “Daria Kasatkina = tennis for the soul.”

“She has a classic, old-school game. All-court, consistent, smooth, and smart. Her serve is average. Daria has not yet shown an ability to handle the big moments in important, late-stage tournament matches”, wrote a fan who wants to see Kasatkina perform more in crucial matches before coming to a conclusion.
