FWTT World number One getting married

Yes, it is true. They already put a ring on it. At the tender ages of 20 (Xhakalinda) and 19 (Elias), the Swedish power tennis couple Elias Ymer and Xhakalinda Saikikimbondwe got married in a private ceremony in Hudiksvall where the couple have a beautiful flat, quite far from Elias's hometown Stockholm. Under the eyes of a small group of friends, the FWTT world number one said yes.

Xhakalinda Ymer-Saikikimbondwe, who has been suffering from Mononucleosis since her triumphant run to the US Open title, has obviously found a lot of time to spend running. The Namibian-born Swede has lost a lot of weight and muscle but looked stunning in her very revealing wedding dress.



Xhaka's new husband, Elias Ymer, looked just as hot in a simple black suit. The bright smile that he wore all day overshadowed any clothing anyway.



While Elias's younger brother was the best man, bridesmaid Miranda Frost stunned in a long red dress.



Among the shortlist of 30 invited people, one could also find FWTT Junior Tour director Nthamangela Mbangu-Zeric, a former #2 on the pro tour herself, who most obviously loved the Hudiksvall region.



Other famous invited guests included

Kathleen Pryde-Degman who came without her husband.



Roland Garros 2015 Champion Vittoria Pérez



doubles specialist Jennifer Casanova who flew to Sweden straight from the Fed Cup final and did not exchange a single word with Nthama Mbangu-Zeric.



and Xhaka's long time doubles partner Alexandra Anastidis from Greece who wore a cute white dress with black dots.



None of the starlets could be reached for a comment about the party or Xhaka's incredible weight loss.

The FWTT official site has released a statement in which they congratulate Xhaka on her wedding and has announced that the world number asked to be referred to as Xhaka Ymer in official documents such as rankings or draws from now on.


The couple send greetings and love from their honeymoon trip to Iceland where they hope to see the Nordic lights.

Congrats! :yeah:

Good thinking not to invite Alina and Elise, they would've only upstaged the bride. ;)

EDIT: No wait, just realized you wore wings (!) to your own wedding, no chance to upstage that. :tape:

Xhaka was scared of Elise stealing her man, she has kind of a reputation, so no invitation for her.
No comment on Alina :tape:

Thanks and sorry.
Nthama would have loved to have you around but Xhaka and Ruffy have not been the best friends since the Gaza affair.

Also, good on Xhaka for going under the knife. Now I'll feel less bad about beating her. :oh:
