The WTA website wrote about Daria Kasatkina: "By common consensus, Daria Kasatkina is the next big thing in Russian tennis, drawing comparisons with none other than Maria Sharapova during her recent run to the semifinals at her home event, the Kremlin Cup. Softly spoken, but with a steely determination reminiscent of her celebrated compatriot, Kasatkina enjoyed a distinguished junior career, lifting the Roland Garros crown at 17, and announced herself in the senior ranks by reaching the US Open third round this August. A quarterfinal in Bad Gasten, and a string of titles on the ITF Circuit, further aided a charge up the rankings that saw her finish a year she started outside the Top 300 perched handily at No.71."


Cast your vote before Sunday, December 6 at 11:59pm ET! The winner will be announced Tuesday, December 8. Finalists are selected by wtatennis.com.
Rising of the Year criteria includes a player who made Top 100 debut or notable accomplishments during the 2015 season, and prior to the current year, had not played in more than six main draw events at tour-level in a single season. Winner is then determined by a media vote with a fan vote counting as one media vote.
