Daria Kasatkina marries Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako in Greek wedding ceremony

Daria Kasatkina, Australia’s No. 63-ranked tennis star, married Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako on Wednesday in a picturesque Greek island ceremony.

What happened at the wedding?

The couple exchanged vows at a seaside venue on a Greek island. Kasatkina posted the first photos from the ceremony on Thursday, calling it the “best day ever.” She wrote on Instagram: “We just had the best day ever. We celebrated love, freedom, and acceptance. No words for now, only appreciation.”

WTA stars Mirra Andreeva and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova were among the guests. Andreeva shared videos and images from the event on social media. Pavlyuchenkova also posted photos with Kasatkina and Kamilla Rakhimova.

Why it matters for Daria Kasatkina

Kasatkina switched her nationality to Australia in March 2025 and became an Australian citizen earlier this year. She cited Russia’s strict LGBTQ+ laws and her criticism of the war in Ukraine as reasons for the change.

The 29-year-old has been with Zabiiako since 2021. They went public in 2022, got engaged in June 2025, and married this week. Zabiiako is a pairs figure skater who won silver in the team event at the 2018 Winter Olympics and bronze at the Figure Skating World Championships.

How Kasatkina has performed this season

On court, Kasatkina is 17-14 in 2025. She reached the third round at both the French Open and Wimbledon. Her ranking sits at No. 63 ahead of the North American swing.

The grass-court season just ended, and the tour is now on a short break before the hard-court swing in North America. Several players, including Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter, have used the pause to marry.

What comes next for Kasatkina

Kasatkina will return to action during the North American swing. Her next events will test whether her off-court happiness translates into on-court form as she aims to climb the rankings.
