Former world number one
Caroline Wozniacki and Russia’s
tennis star
Daria Kasatkina were involved in a hilarious exchange on social
media regarding their road journey in Charleston.
Both players are currently in the South Carolina city to take
part in the upcoming
Charleston Open. The WTA 500 event will be organised from
April 1-07.
In a post on her official account on the social media platform Instagram,
Kasatkina wrote that her ‘driver got lost’ as she was sitting in the back seat
of the car driven by Wozniacki.
In response to that, the former world number one wrote: “I
think I deserve 5 stars for getting you to the hotel safely AND a sightseeing
tour."
Interestingly, both players have won the Charleston Open
once in their respective careers. Wozniacki lifted the title in the 2011
edition when she defeated Russia’s Elena Vesnina in the final in straight sets
with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
On the other hand, Kasatkina won the title in 2017 after defeating
Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3,
6-1.
Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur will
be defending her crown this year as she won the competition in 2023 after
defeating Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic in the final in straight sets with a score
of 7-6, 6-4.
