Daria Gavrilova settling into Australian life with boyfriend Luke Saville

Daria Gavrilova, or Dasha, as she is known to fans, has been on a rollercoaster ride since meeting longtime Australian boyfriend (and fellow professional tennis player) Luke Saville at the junior Davis Cup five years ago.

Gavrilova ended 2015 ranked number 36, and she began 2016 in top form, conquering Elina Svitolina in the Hopman Cup to contribute to team Australia Green's victory and making it to the fourth round of this year's Australian Open.

All the while the Russian native has been adjusting to life as a newly-minted Australian citizen and living with boyfriend Saville, with whom she's been together since 2011.
