Russia’s tennis star
Daria Kasatkina hilariously promoted
her YouTube channel during the pre-match talk at the
US Open 2023.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is coming
towards the business end where the remaining players are still battling it out
to secure the ultimate glory.
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.
Before that match, the world number hilariously promoted her
YouTube channel in a pre-match interview when she was asked how she prepares
for the night matches at the mega-event.
“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.
