Professional qualities
Kudermetova has improved her game significantly over the past year. Previously, her strengths were limited, and she often made mistakes in simple situations, playing without the necessary concentration. However, her physical preparation has improved significantly recently, and now she remains fresh and energetic throughout the match. There have also been noticeable improvements in the technical aspects of the game: her forehand has become more aggressive, and her two-handed backhand is more stable.

Current form
Kasatkina defeated Peyton Stearns (7-6, 4-6, 7-5) in the first round of the tournament in Brisbane. In her match against the American, Daria hit four aces, converted eight break points and lost eight games on her serve.
Professional qualities
Kasatkina has many strengths, but she lacks an aggressive style of play. The Russian is excellent in defense and counterattacks, but her attacking game leaves much to be desired. A weak serve is one of her main weaknesses, and despite years of efforts to improve this element, Daria has not been able to achieve consistency. However, her excellent work on the return helps compensate for this weakness, which makes her game interesting for spectators.
Current indicators in the tour
Kasatkina is ranked ninth in the world. Daria finished the past season with two trophies won. At the grass court competition in Eastbourne, she beat Leyla Fernandez in the final. At the open hard court in Ningbo, the Russian won the decisive match against Mirra Andreeva. Kasatkina now has eight trophies won in the WTA category.
