Wimbledon is coming up
The legendary Wimbledon starts in a few days. Tennis players from the lower spheres of the rankings are already fighting these days to participate in the top event of the tennis season in the qualifying rounds.
Ukraine’s Marty Kostyuk is of course guaranteed to participate in the All England Club as a player in the elite 20. And even the preparatory tournaments before Wimbledon didn’t take her too much time.
In both Nottingham and London, the 21-year-old finished in her first match. She hasn’t had any great success at Wimbledon either.
At the All England Club, the Kiev native went as far as the third round. She recorded this result last year. So Kostyuk has drawn attention to herself in a different way. Her photos for Vogue magazine made a big splash.
Bold photos
It should be added that the winner of one tournament on the WTA circuit partially followed the dress code of the London Grand Slam during the photo shoot. She is wearing a white skirt. But the rest of her outfit is missing.
Fan reactions are mixed. But it’s fair to say that most of them are complimentary. As usual, you can never please everyone.
“It’s degrading to women,” says one critic in the discussion. Others wonder about the purpose of such photos.
In any case, this is not the first time this young tennis player has caused a stir. During her triumph in Austin last year , she refused to shake hands with her Russian opponent after the match.
Let’s see how Kostyuk impresses with her performance at this year’s Wimbledon. But one thing is for sure, she has already secured a little more attention from sports fans.
