"The only disturbing fact on the matches is the popping of the champagne!": Kasatkina expects more respectful crowds at Wimbledon than Roland Garros

World number 11 Daria Kasatkina is hoping to see the ‘very respectful’ crowds at Wimbledon 2023.
The 26-year-old is one of the many players who are making their way back to the third Grand Slam of the year, which will be played from 03-16 July in London, after a one-year ban because of Russia’s war with Ukraine which started in February 2022 and resulted in the loss of lives on both sides.
The Russian number one revealed happiness about playing once again in the mega-event.
“I have always liked playing in the UK,” she said. “I had good results here and good memories. I’m really happy to be back and to have this opportunity again. It feels great because the people here, we can see that they have got the culture of the game, they know when they have to support, when it’s the tight moment of the match.
“They are very respectful to the players. People are super nice to me. I really appreciate the support. The only disturbing fact on the matches is the popping of the champagne! I’m really happy to be back there.”
The Tolyatti-born, who is drawn up against America’s Caroline Dolehide in the first round at Wimbledon, has struggled recently while playing at the Grand Slam.
Kasatkina played in the Wimbledon quarterfinal in 2018 where she suffered a defeat to eventual champion Germany’s Angelique Kerber with a score of 6-3, 7-5.
Since then, she has been knocked out from the first and second rounds respectively in the 2019 and 2021 events.
This year, Kasatkina has had a mixed record where she has won 20 out of 34 matches and suffered 14 defeats in the process.
Her record while playing on the grass court is not that impressive where she has a win percentage of 62.5, the second-lowest out of all the surfaces.
