Daria Kasatkina is one of the most vocal tennis players regarding women's social rights and the LGBTQ+ community. Therefore, her response to a challenging question during the press conference of the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026 about the benefits of competing in Saudi Arabia has made a significant impact.
"Unfortunately, as tennis players, we do not have a voice in where we play. The governing bodies of tennis profit from us, and our role is to go and compete—it's our job, and we also need to earn money. I always try to find positive aspects, one of which is to show young Saudi women the benefits of our sport and contribute to improving their situation," she explained.
