Aussie tennis star Daria Kasatkina announces engagement to partner Natalia Zabiiako after whirlwind three months
Aussie tennis star Daria Kasatkina has capped off an exciting few months by getting engaged to her long-term partner, former Olympic skater Natalia Zabiiako. The world No.17 switched her sporting allegiance to Australia earlier this year after being granted permanent residency following her claims that it was unsafe to return to Russia, due to both her sexuality and her opposition to the war. The couple shared the delightful news on social media, marking an incredible year for the 28-year-old. Kasatkina posted a photo of a dazzling diamond ring on Zabiiako's finger alongside the caption: 'And just like that.' Many of the couple's tennis star friends took to the comment section to offer their well-wishes. 'Ahh congrats,' posted Katie Boulter. 'I will be at the wedding regardless if you want it or not,' joked Arina Rodionova. 'Congrats Dasha and Natalia!!!' posted Jennifer Brady. Kasatkina bowed out at Roland Garros on Monday, beaten by the 18-year-old phenom and her fellow Russian-born friend Mirra Andreeva 6-3 7-5 after what the victorious teenager rightly called a 'hell of a match' in the fourth round at Roland Garros. Their 94-minute duel on Court Suzanne Lenglen ended with Kasatkina chucking her wristband jokingly at her conqueror at the net, while Andreeva informed the crowd tongue-in-cheek that she only practised with the Aussie because she hated her. Just months since being granted permanent residency, Kasatkina's hopes of becoming the first Australian woman to reach the quarter-finals since Ash Barty's triumphant year of 2019 may have fallen short, but the 28-year-old, who enjoyed being the 'last Aussie standing', smiled: 'It's been a good start. 'First of all it's been a good result but also, I felt super good to step on the court as an Australian player,' said the 17th seed. 'To feel the support from the stands so many times. I don't know if everyone who was screaming, 'Aussie', were from Australia, but I felt this support. Also, on social media I'm getting a lot of support from the Australians that they are so happy to welcome me, and they're happy for me. 'So this is the kind of support which I honestly didn't have before, it feels like it's something new to me -- but it feels so nice.' When asked if everyone was now allowed to call her 'an Aussie battler' after she had given the sixth seed a real scare with her second-set counter-attack when she even earned a set point, Kasatkina offered a wry smile and replied: 'If you want to...' The 28-year-old rose as high as No.8 in the world and has won eight WTA titles - her best grand slam result coming at the French Open where she reached the semi-finals in 2022. Kasatkina has followed the likes of Daria Saville, Ajla Tomljanovic and Arina Rodionova in making eligibility switches. She is Australia's new women's No.1 and the country's highest-ranked player since Ash Barty retired.

NHL star Brad Marchand's mom goes viral during Stanley Cup Final as cameras spot insane reaction in crowd
Florida Panthers star Brad Marchand's mom was seen going wild after her son fired home a dramatic double-overtime winner in the Stanley Cup Final. Marchand's decisive strike handed the Panthers a 5-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night, a result which evens up the final at 1-1 after their opening 4-3 defeat earlier in the week. And after watching her eldest son's heroics at Rogers Place, an ecstatic Lynn Marchand could not contain her delight in the crowd. Sportsnet cameras panned to the Canadian winger's mom in the stands, where she appeared to scream 'way to go Brad' with tears in her eyes before letting out a huge cheer. 'She is one that you need to put a muzzle on,' Marchand joked about his mom after the game. 'She gets pretty amped up at the games. 'They've always been so supportive, like all of our parents. I don't think there's a player in this league that could say their parents are not the main reason why they're here, the sacrifices they make and when you go on a journey as a team and you get to the Finals and you're going on a run, it's not just for you, it's for everybody that helped you get here and all your loved ones that are enjoying the moment, whether they're here or not. Brad Marchand's mom was so excited after her son won it for the Panthers in Game 2 🥲 — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) June 7, 2025 Brad Marchand's mom was seen going wild after his double-overtime Stanley Cup Final winner 'It's special to have them in the building, but hopefully we have a lot of great memories in the future as well.' Brad's game-winning goal proved a vital one for the Panthers, who had twice fallen behind in Game 2 before rallying to take a 4-3 lead. The Oilers then forced overtime by leveling the score at 4-4 in the dying seconds, meaning they took momentum into the extra period. That was until Marchand, who had also moved Florida 4-3 ahead, beat Stuart Skinner on a breakaway and scored the all-important winner just over eight minutes into the second overtime. 'To be honest, I blacked out,' he said in his postgame interview with TNT Sports. 'I don't even know where it went.'
