is all set to her mark on one of tennis’s grandest stages- the Wimbledon. Ranked No. 197 in the WTA, Branstine is also a professional model. She’s signed with two modelling agencies, and her Instagram account is a clear example of how she balances both of her passions.-The 24-year-old tennis up-and-comer Carson Branstine will face the top-seeded
Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon on Monday. She has been dominating headlines after a swimsuit photo of Wimbledon's newest star is going viral on social media.
-She’s currently ranked 197th in the world and has already made a bit of a name for herself during a dominant collegiate tennis career at Texas A&M. What has caught people's attention is how she funded her pro-tennis career through modelling.
-“I love being in front of the camera during a shoot. It’s fun, I love fashion. It’s been one of the reasons I’ve been able to pay some of my trips. I didn’t want to ask my parents for anything — I wanted everything to come from me and from my tennis,” Branstine said in an interview.
-Branstine, who also works as a model, has a nice following on social media. The former Texas A&M Aggies star is trending on Instagram with more than 22,000 followers.
-Branstine, who described modelling as a 'cool little side hustle', has signed with two agencies and her social media is a mix of her tennis and modeling activities. She suggested there was one big similarity between tennis and modeling in her eyes: “You are an object a lot, and people sometimes forget you’re a person too.”
-The American-born Canadian studied Society, Ethics, and Law, with a double minor in Philosophy and Sports Management, and even assisted an attorney for one year, according to New York Post.
-Branstine has struggled with injuries throughout her career, which has kept her from gaining momentum. Her powerful serve and aggressive groundstrokes are key weapons, but her body hasn’t always cooperated.

-Away from the court, Branstine studied Society, Ethics, and Law, with a double minor in Philosophy and Sports Management, and even assisted an attorney for one year. “I did family law shadowing a lawyer, which was very emotional,” she said.
-Following her tennis career, Branstine would like to return to law school and eventually start a family.
-She previously had defeated top-seeded Lois Boisson to start the qualifying and expressed immense confidence in herself. “Maybe not everyone knows who I am, but I believe I can beat anyone. I know my game can stand up to anyone’s, and I’m glad I can show that now,” she said.
