— WTA (@WTA) August 7, 2017 It hasn’t exactly been a banner year for Russia’s Daria Kasatkina, but the 20-year-old has still managed a few bright spots. She won her first career title in Charleston this spring and she earned her first career win over a reigning World No.1 when she defeated Angelique Kerber at Sydney in January.She produced another bright spot today, pulling off this amazing ‘tweener early in her first-round victory over former U.S. Open runner-up Roberta Vinci.The beautifully executed shot drew rave reviews from Vinci (love how she applauded), and from other WTA stars on Twitter:Dayummmmm https://t.co/04BzMVU5ml
