#4. Serena Williams praising Daria Kasatkina after defeating her at the Australian Open
18-year old Russian Daria Kasatkina began her maiden Australian Open well by stunning 27th seed Anna Karolina Schmeidlova in the first round in straight sets before beating Croatian teenager Ana Konjuh in the second round, also in straight sets to set up a third round clash against World No.1 and tournament favorite Serena Williams.Just at the start of the year, Kasatkina had stunned Serena’s sister Venus in the first round of the ASB Classic at Auckland but it wasn’t going to be a Williams double for the teenager as the World No.1 thrashed her 6-1, 6-1 in only 44 minutes. However, despite registering a comprehensive win, Serena was extremely humble after the match as she praised her opponent’s game, especially her forehand.
