Russia has only ever had one Wimbledon singles champion – Maria Sharapova in 2004 – but Daria Kasatkina has designs on changing that.

She vowed she would not let the occasion get to her, citing recent grand slam quarter-final experience at the French Open, saying she would approach the match “with the feeling that it’s just the next match, it’s not like something huge”.
