Leylah Fernandez Admits Envy Over Daria Kasatkina & Natalia Zabiiako’s Dream Date: “I Wish I Had That Too”
Rising tennis star Leylah Fernandez recently opened up about her admiration—and a little bit of envy—toward fellow player Daria Kasatkina and her girlfriend, Natalia Zabiiako, after Kasatkina revealed details about an unforgettable date. The Russian tennis ace, who has been vocal about her relationship with the Olympic figure skater, shared an eye-opening story about their romantic getaway, leaving Fernandez feeling a touch wistful.
During a recent interview, Kasatkina described an intimate and adventurous date with Zabiiako that involved a scenic mountaintop dinner under the stars. The couple, who often share glimpses of their life together, expressed how the experience deepened their bond. “It was one of those moments where everything felt perfect—just us, nature, and no distractions,” Kasatkina revealed.
When Fernandez came across the story, she couldn’t help but express her admiration. “That’s honestly so amazing. I love hearing about things like that,” she said with a laugh. “I’m a little jealous, though! I wish I had something like that too.”
Known for her fierce competitiveness on the court, Fernandez also has a softer, more romantic side, and Kasatkina’s story struck a chord with her. While Fernandez has kept her personal life relatively private, her reaction hinted at a longing for a similar kind of meaningful connection.
Kasatkina and Zabiiako have become a beloved couple in the sports world, praised for their openness and support for LGBTQ+ representation. Their latest date revelation has not only inspired fans but also left Fernandez dreaming of her own perfect romantic moment.
Could this be a hint that the young Canadian star is ready to embrace a more public love story of her own? Only time will tell.
