Imagine this: Canadian Karson Branstin, a professional model, is self-funding her tennis career and has just made a splash at this year’s Wimbledon!

Karson isn’t just a pretty face on magazine covers — she’s a real tennis warrior.

Yes, you read that right, she beat a US Open champ! Her secret? A powerful serve and aggressive baseline shots.
But wait, there’s more!

She funds her entire career from her modeling earnings, having signed contracts with two elite agencies. She proves you can be beautiful, smart, independent, and brave all at once.
At Wimbledon, she’s set to face the world’s top player, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, a perfect chance to show she’s not just a pretty face on the runway but a serious contender on the biggest tennis stage.
