Tennis sensation Marta Kostyuk has made headlines with her latest appearance in Vogue Ukraine, where the 21-year-old posed topless just before gearing up for Wimbledon.

Celebrating Ukrainian Athletes

The latest issue of Vogue Ukraine is dedicated to celebrating both legendary and rising Ukrainian athletes. Alongside Kostyuk, the magazine features stars preparing for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Kostyuk is praised as a new beacon of hope in Ukrainian tennis, currently ranked 18th in the world.

Striking Photoshoot

In a striking photoshoot, Kostyuk is seen wearing only white Nylon skirt-shorts, provided by the clothing brand Intertop. She joins a lineup of athletes including canoeist Lyudmyla Luzan, fencer Olga Harlan, long jumper Oksana Zubkovska, and judoka Darya Bilodid, all featured in the issue.

Following in Famous Footsteps

Kostyuk is not the first tennis player to pose topless; she follows in the footsteps of Caroline Wozniacki and Agnieszka Radwanska, who have also graced magazine covers in bold shoots.

High Hopes for Wimbledon

This feature comes as Kostyuk prepares for Wimbledon, aiming to surpass her previous best of reaching the third round. She has shown strong form this season, making it to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open and reaching two WTA tour finals.

Impressive Season So Far

Kostyuk’s season highlights include a runner-up finish in San Diego against British No. 1 Katie Boulter, and another final appearance in Stuttgart, where she faced 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. She also made it to the semi-finals at Indian Wells, losing to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

Ambassador and Designer

Last year, Kostyuk became an ambassador for Wilson, an American sportswear brand. She has been actively involved in designing her kits, earning praise for her bold green outfit at the French Open. Wilson also crafted her custom wedding dress and her husband’s suit for their ceremony in Cyprus.

Vocal Advocate

Based in Monte Carlo, Kostyuk has been an outspoken critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She has notably refused to shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players, a stance that led to controversy and boos at the French Open in 2023.

Charitable Efforts

In addition to her on-court achievements, Kostyuk launched a foundation last year to support children affected by the conflict in Ukraine, demonstrating her commitment to her homeland beyond tennis.

As she heads into Wimbledon, Kostyuk’s impressive season and bold statements both on and off the court keep her in the spotlight, making her one to watch in the tennis world.
