"Whenever I post photos in Instagram, some guy always comments, 'Nice armpits'" - Daria Saville & Daria Kasatkina exchange banter on Aussie's armpits
Daria Saville and Daria Kasatkina had a hilarious exchange about the former's armpits during a practice session at the recently-concluded Miami Open.
Kasatkina, who is also a YouTube content creator alongside her girlfriend Natalia Zabiiako, recently released a vlog episode in which she and Zabiiako interacted with several players who were at the Miami Open. One of those was Russia-born Australian player Saville.
During a break in practice, Saville asked if she had a messy head and armpits. Kasatkina told Saville that the Australian is amazing and then asked Zabiiako to record the Australian's armpits.
"I probably have a mess on my head, right?" Saville asked.
"Dash, you are amazing," Kasatkina told Saville.
"And armpits," Saville added.
"Film her armpits already, she wants it so much," Kasatkina told Zabiiako.
At this point, Saville went on to say how a man on social media compliments her armpits whenever she posts photos of herself playing tennis.
"Whenever I post tennis photos on Instagram, some guy always comments, 'nice armpits'," Saville said.
