Daria Kasatkina recently urged Iga Swiatek to be part of her vlog amid requests from tennis fans.
Kasatkina runs a YouTube channel called 'What The Vlog' in partnership with her girlfriend Natalia Zabiiako. The pair routinely share glimpses of their lives through vlogs. It mainly focuses on the Russian's journey on the tour.
Several players including Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Sloane Stephens have been part of the couple's vlogs. However, Swiatek has never appeared on the channel.
On social media, a fan recalled Ajla Tomljanovic praising Swiatek's friendly behavior.
