A snippet
from their recent episode was shared on social media, capturing
Daria Kasatkina
and Jelena Ostapenko in a golf cart, on their way to a friendly soccer match
during the Canadian Open.
“DashKa and
Ostapenko showing they really are the best of friends, playing football, and
even practicing together. their interactions in Montreal are the best thing
ever.”
In the
video, Kasatkina asked Ostapenko, "If you were to design a football kit,
what would you come up with?"
The former
French Open champion responded with a smile, "Some unbelievable
colors."
After their
golf cart ride, the tennis players donned blue and white jerseys they would
wear for the match. They were seen chatting cheerfully as they prepared.
Following the match, they spoke to the camera about their experience with the
soccer team:
"My
favorite moment was when Aljona [Ostapenko] took the ball away in our half of
the field and just hit down the line with all her might," said Kasatkina.
"I
thought, 'This is the famous forehand down the line, from here,'" she
continued.
"I
just hit somewhere, didn't think at all," responded Ostapenko playfully.
Kasatkina
and Ostapenko have faced each other several times on the WTA tour, with 5
victories for the Latvian and 2 for the Russian. They met in the only final
they have contested, which took place at the 2017 Charleston Open. Kasatkina
emerged victorious with a score of 6-3, 6-1, clinching her first title at the
age of 19.
