Australian tennis star Daria Saville is currently in China, taking some time off from the sport. However, the 29-year-old has been struggling with poor internet connectivity, due to which she wasn't able to check her WhatsApp or emails.
Saville uploaded some stories on Instagram in which she explained how she solved her connectivity issues, hoping to help future travelers to the country.
"Been in China for one day and horrific internet is driving me nuts. I can live without titktok but I can't access my emails or WhatsApp cause VPN+wifi never works properly. But I found an esim which solves it. Posting it using my new esim," Daria Saville posted.
Saville claimed that an app named 'Nomad' solver her problem and advised her followers to get the regional plan. She aso shared a screenshot of her referral code to help her fans avail a discount.

In a subsequent story, Saville clarified that the posts weren't sponsored and she was only sharing the information to help people. She also advised that people should download the television shows they are watching before traveling to the country.
How has Daria Saville performed so far this year?
Daria Saville returned to the tour at the Birmingham Classic in June after a nine-month absence due to an ACL tear she suffered at the Japan Open in 2022. Saville failed to make it out of the qualifiers in the grasscourt tournament, falling 4-6, 6-3, 1-6 to Cristina Bucsa.
