Daria Kasatkina continues to throw shade on Alexander Zverev after Australian Open loss: "I feel like everyone is thinking the same right now"

Russia’s tennis star Daria Kasatkina has continued to throw shade on the men’s world number six Alexander Zverev. Germany’s tennis star suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the semifinal of the Australian Open to the current world number three with a score of 5-7, 3-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-3.

That defeat would’ve hurt Zverev far more as he was two sets up at one stage and was just two points away from winning the contest in the tiebreak of the third set. As per the Australian Open website, at one stage, Zverev was 94 percent favourite to win the tie but yet ended up on the losing side, largely because of committing too many errors.

After the match, Kasatkina, in a post on her official account on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter, took a dig at Zverev by stating: "I feel like everyone is thinking the same right now.”

After the match, Zverev admitted that the defeat was ‘extremely disappointing’, especially after he started really well.

"I mean, just basically the whole Australian trip I was playing quite well. Been playing well actually for a few months now, so it's obviously extremely disappointing. Yeah, nothing much I can say," Zverev said.

"Yeah, frustrating. But for me it's more frustrating that I didn't feel 100% physically. That was more frustrating to me. It kind of took the chance away. You know, kind of I lost it because of a physical state, not because of tennis. That is, for me, disappointing..." Zverev added.
