“Let the fun begin”: Mirra Andreeva celebrates Daria Kasatkina’s wedding alongside WTA stars in Greece
WTAWednesday, 15 July 2026 at 21:00
Mirra Andreeva and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova traded tennis courts for a special celebration this week, joining several WTA stars at Daria Kasatkina’s wedding in Greece. Fresh from the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, the Russian-born players were among the guests who attended Kasatkina’s long-awaited ceremony with her fiancée Natalia Zabiiako.
The celebration took place shortly after Kasatkina completed her Wimbledon campaign and travelled to Greece for one of the most important moments of her personal life. The former world No. 8 had previously revealed that she and Zabiiako had been preparing the wedding for around a year, planning an intimate seaside event with close friends and family.
Among those present were Andreeva and Pavlyuchenkova, who shared glimpses of the celebrations on social media. Kamilla Rakhimova and Arina Rodionova were also seen attending the event, bringing together several current and former WTA players away from the pressure of the tour.
Pavlyuchenkova shared a selfie with Andreeva from the wedding festivities, writing “Reunidas” alongside pink heart emojis. Later, she posted another image from the cocktail hour, where Andreeva appeared wearing a black dress while Kasatkina and Zabiiako opted for a black-and-white style.
Kasatkina celebrates new chapter after Wimbledon
The wedding marked a new chapter for Kasatkina after a season full of important personal decisions. The Australian player, who changed her sporting allegiance from Russia in 2025, has spoken openly about her relationship with Zabiiako and the importance of feeling comfortable with her identity.
Kasatkina and Zabiiako made their relationship public in 2022, and in June 2025 the tennis player revealed that she had proposed to her partner. The couple chose Greece as the location for their wedding, creating a celebration away from the intensity of professional tennis.

Before leaving Wimbledon, Kasatkina had already shared her excitement about the upcoming event, describing it as a welcome change from the routine of the WTA Tour.
“I’ve got my wedding, our wedding. I’m really looking forward to it,” Kasatkina said during Wimbledon. “That’s great, though, isn’t it? You know, a break from tennis. Honestly, like, really looking forward to it, like something really, really different.”
The Australian star also explained that the couple had invested significant time into preparing the ceremony. “We’re gonna have about 40 people at the wedding in Athens, we’ve been working on this for like a year. I hope guests are gonna like it; a few of them who are playing here will be coming along afterwards,” she said.

Kasatkina’s wedding brought together several familiar faces from the tennis world. Among the guests were Mirra Andreeva and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who shared moments from the celebration on social media, as well as Kamilla Rakhimova and Arina Rodionova.

The presence of these players was not a surprise for fans who have followed Kasatkina beyond the court. Andreeva, Pavlyuchenkova, Rakhimova and Rodionova have all been seen sharing a close friendship with Kasatkina through What The Vlog, the series where Kasatkina and Zabiiako document behind-the-scenes moments from WTA tournaments throughout the season.

Through the vlog, Kasatkina has offered fans a more personal look at life on tour, frequently showing her connection with several players, particularly those from the Russian-speaking tennis community. Alongside the tennis players, Kasatkina and Zabiiako were joined by close friends and family members for the intimate celebration in Greece, which included around 40 guests.

- Well done to the author of this article!! A meltdown is what Coco experienced at the US Open the year she was chirping at her box, very near to tears, double faults were in great supply and she simply could not get a handle on that match. THAT AP is a meltdown!!Rapunzel12-07-2026
- This sensible approach helped Muchova... and look where she will find herself tomorrow (Wimbledon Final). Iga's wise to escape... especially to Nature and so. The wilderness (forests, lakes, mountains) has been my "Church" and escape from The Noise since I was a kid. She'll do well in the end.

- Why do all these "experts" feel the need to publicly "tell players" what they need to do, or what they're doing wrong?? How about this -- if you're so concerned with a player's situation actually take the time to contact the team in question and talk directly to them. Yapping in public media is rarely, if ever, helpful.mandoist07-07-2026
- Gee... preferential treatment all the way to the end? STOP IT WTA & WIMPLEDON !!! This entire WILLIAMS CHARADE is 100% unfair to young upcoming players who legitimately earned a shot at a Wildcard. The whole scenario with these freebies to The Williams' is pathetic and barely within the rules (which have been bent like a pretzel to accomodate them). The lamest excuse this time is "...she is a top draw". How does that apply to Wimbledon which is sold-out in advance? Stop enabling this abhorrent "Look at me" behavior. If they want to make believe they can compete -- LET THEM PLAY QUAILIFIERS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.mandoist06-07-2026

- Are you kidding me with this soft "article"??? WTF?? Djerkovic should be DISQUALIFIED just as anyone else at WimPledon would have been for his behavior!! So what you should be writing about is how the stuffed shirts on Wimpledon's executive board and ATP can no longer hide, nor lie about, their FAVORITISM. We now have seen (and heard) that, as in politics and world of CEO's, "who" you are can afford Elitists the luxury of escaping the usual penalties according to their own bona fide rules/reg's. Not totally surprising coming from organizations which perform special rule-breaking stunts as giving the undeserving, unranked Williams' some young upcoming player's Wildcards. Neither Williams earned these WC's... let them enter via Qualifiers like anyone else!!!mandoist06-07-2026
