A Historic Match in Doha
Daria Kasatkina delivered a stunning performance at the WTA 1000 event in Doha, defeating Polina Kudermetova with a double bagel score of 6-0, 6-0. This remarkable finish came in just 42 minutes, marking one of the quickest matches in WTA history. The match showcased Kasatkina’s exceptional skill and strategy on the court.
A Revenge Match
Just a month prior, Kasatkina had faced Kudermetova in Brisbane and suffered a defeat. However, she returned to the court with vengeance in her heart, determined to claim victory. This match not only highlighted her coaching efforts and training but also demonstrated her resilience and ability to bounce back after a setback.
Record-Setting Performance
This isn’t Kasatkina’s first time achieving a double bagel win. She had previously recorded the same scoreline against British player Lily Miyazaki at Wimbledon last summer. With this latest victory, she became the first player since Donna Vekic in 2016 to win a main draw match at the Qatar Open with a score of 6-0, 6-0. This impressive feat adds another remarkable highlight to Kasatkina’s career.
