World No.12 Daria Kasatkina expressed her extreme discomfort with the sport as she called tennis as one of the worst games speaking from the logistics perspective of the sport. She had recently featured in the 2023 Zhengzhou Open in China, where she reached the semi-finals.

Talking on Zabiiako & Kasatkina YouTube about how she is constantly traveling from one place to another, week after week, Daria Kasatkina stated,“Honestly, I’m exhausted. The game of tennis itself is the simplest thing we do. Everything else is just completely bull**t.“

She continued, “I can’t travel anymore. I can’t pack my things… these planes, moving… When you can’t communicate with people from different countries, constantly changing beds, constantly packing & unpacking bags every week, I just can’t do it anymore.”

Daria Kasatkina also discussed how all this frequent traveling and competition is taking a heavy toll on her body. She is getting sick frequently and talking about the impact this has had on her physical and mental state, she added,” My body is just telling me to f**k off already. For the third time in a month and a half I have a sore throat and in general my condition is incomprehensible. In terms of life logistics, there is no worse sport in the whole world. It’s just complete bull**t.”

The 26-year-old sounds like she is giving up on the sport. Daria Kasatkina was pretty harsh and aggressive making such claims about the sport based on her recent and personal experiences.
