Dasha responds to 'weird' dress double-up
Social media users had a field day when Daria Gavrilova took the court wearing the exact same outfit as her opponent, right down to the shoes.
Viewers watching Gavrilova's clash with Timea Bacsinszky on Saturday night might have thought they were seeing double.
The same sponsor for both girls meant Dasha's light blue skirt and dark blue singlet was matched exactly across the other side of the court.

Both players are right-handed and have blonde hair, with the only point of difference being Dasha's white visor as opposed to Bacsinszky's white head band.
Many fans flocked to Twitter, seeing the funny side of the double up:

To the point where it looks like Gavrilova is hitting the ball up against a mirror #AusOpen

Gavrilova was asked about the outfit clash after her victory.
"We have the same sponsor," she said.
"It was a bit weird but what can you do?"
