She is a lot of fun. She smashes a raquet or two, but she often laughs at herself too.

I completely agree with that. She deserved to win that match and she played brilliantly. She is a very fun competitor on the circuit and a great player.

Haha you can say that again!😅 first time I've seen or heard her away from the court and couldn't believe it!

Every once in an awhile Dasha Kasatkina interviews, or interacts with her, on her KZfaq vlog. That changed my opinion about Yulia, seeing how funny & playful she is off the court.

@@bbplizzybeethat’s what I love abt the vlog. I think Tc should bring some features on players. May draw in more folks cuz a lot of ppl are diff out of battle

@@bbplizzybeethis is the same reason Ostapenko is misunderstood. If Dasha likes her then that’s good enough for me. To be honest I liked her even before I saw the offcourt interviews on the vlog. So entertaining.

@@speabodyOstempeko is misunderstood ?

Very! She is very lovable off court. People think she is hated by other players, but thats absolutely not true, they know the true Yulia. She is very authentic and what you see is what you get. Not arrogant and sneaky like williams

Her temper is close to behaving mad lol

Yulia is not hated. She is quite loveable and very funny.

If you are highlighting these two, then I think there is a case certainly for Ostapenko too...even if she may be nicer off court

one outta two, mate. I met her at San Jose (Yulia, I mean)--GREAT girl.

we all loathe Osta.

It’s funny that Daria Kasatkina (who doesn’t seem to hate anyone) is actually friends with Aļona (Ostapenko). They even make fun of her a little on the vlog, but keeps coming back so she must not be offended. Or she doesn’t realize 😂. But they practice together sometimes too. It seems to me that Penko is very childlike, like she never really grew up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What happend
