This week, we welcome the queen of "Tik Tok tennis," the always entertaining, Daria "Dasha" Gavrilova. After a successful junior career that saw her capture the 2010 US Open junior title, as well as becoming the #1 junior in the world, Dasha would finally achieve a career high ranking of #20 in the WTA rankings after a big title run at the 2017 premier Connecticut Open event. Self described as "quirky," this talented Russian turned Aussie, shares hilarious stories from the start of her career, all the way to updates on her return to the tour after an achilles tendon surgery hiatus. Join host Jon Guerrica, as well as one of Dasha's biggest fans from the past decade, as they breakdown the quirk that makes Dasha such a huge fan favorite. I'm not sure you'll hear a more authentic account of her life...from wedding plans to ATP pro Luke Saville, to hobbies, to Beyonće, we cover it all. This interview will have you smiling and cheering loudly for her big return to tour. I hope you'll join us in getting to know....the fantastic, Dasha Gavrilova.
