Kasatkina’s journey in the mega-event came to an end after she suffered a defeat in straight sets in the round of the 16 to the newly-crowned world number one Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 6-1, 6-3.

“Well honestly we spent the whole day yesterday thinking how to promote my YouTube channel,” she said. “And I think this is it guys. Subscribe. Just search my surname on YouTube and you’ll find it. And in case the match is not going to be interesting, you can always watch the YouTube.”

The defeat on Monday would’ve been a difficult blow for Kasatkina as once again, she fell short of reaching the quarterfinal stage of the US Open despite playing in the main draw for nine consecutive years.
