“How is it possible,” said Darja Kassatkina, and like the media representatives who were there this Monday at the press conference in Charleston, the 27-year-old grinned when she sat down. Kassatkina tried to express the English word “Mate” – buddy – with an Australian tone. Her voice went up in the end. “It is my first official day as an Australian player,” she said: “To be honest, it feels different, honestly. It’s emotionally for me. I have to get used to it first. But I am very happy to start this new chapter of my life as an Australian player on the big stage.”
