Marta Kostyuk, the 21-year-old Ukrainian tennis star, is making headlines as she prepares for her fourth appearance in the main draw at Wimbledon. Coming off her deepest Grand Slam run to date, reaching the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in early 2024 before losing to Coco Gauff, Kostyuk is set to make an impact at the All England Club, aiming to surpass her career-best third-round exit from last year.
As Ukraine’s No. 1 ranked player, Kostyuk has also graced the pages of Vogue in a special edition celebrating “legendary athletes and new stars of national sports” ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. The striking image shows Kostyuk staring confidently at the camera, with her arms covering her topless body, wearing only a pair of white nylon skirt-shorts from Intertop.
Sharing the photo on Instagram, Kostyuk captioned it: “@vogue_ukraine special edition for Olympic Games 🤍 what an honour to represent 🇺🇦 #vogue.” The post quickly garnered reactions from fans, with one commenting, “Diva 🔥,” another adding, “Very Beautiful 😍,” and a third saying, “Bellissima ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️.”
As Kostyuk prepares for Wimbledon, her bold appearance in Vogue highlights her rising profile both on and off the court.
Ranked no.18, Marta played her last match on the 17th of June when she lost to world no.14 Darya Kasatkina 4-6 7-6(6) 6-3 in the 1st round in Berlin (draw).
This year Kostyuk achieved an overall 20-12 win-loss record. Marta Kostyuk’s best performance of the current year was getting to the final in San Diego and Stuttgart.
