Meet the stunning model making her Wimbledon debut — against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka
She's got style, she's got grace, and Carson Branstine also has one heck of a serve. The 24-year-old tennis up-and-comer will face the top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon on Monday as Branstine looks to make an impact in her first showing at the All-England Club. 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 and the story of how she's funded her pro tennis career through modeling has captured the public's attention.

Instagram/Carson Branstine Advertisement Branstine had described modeling as 'a cool little side hustle' and a way to fund herself on the WTA tour without having to burden her parents for any financial help, she explained to a small gaggle of reporters recently, which included Clay and Wimbledon's website. '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,' she explained. Branstine has signed with two agencies and her social media is a mix of her tennis and modeling activities. 8 Carson Branstine is ranked No. 197 in the world.

Despite injuries over her career, Branstine still found plenty of success during her days at Texas A&M and helped the program win a national championship in 2024.

'I did family law shadowing a lawyer, which was very emotional,' she said. 8 Aryna Sabalenka is as tough a opponent a Wimbledon debutant could possibly have.

John Russo for L'BEAUTí Following her tennis career, Branstine would like to return to law school and eventually start a family. But directly in front of her is a chance to pull off a major upset at Wimbledon. 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.

Love Story in the Wild: Cheetah Cubs Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Are Inseparable
A wild love story is blooming at the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Somaliland. Two orphaned cheetah cubs, affectionately named after the power couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, are proving to be inseparable companions. Rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, these tiny cats have formed a powerful bond, snuggling, playing, and exploring their new home together. With their charming connection, Swift and Kelce are not just cute; they're shining a light on the urgent need to protect cheetahs and keep them roaming free. In April 2025, the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) rescued a tiny cheetah cub from illegal wildlife trafficking and moved her to their rescue and conservation center in Somaliland. Weighing only about three pounds at the time, the cub was later named 'Taylor Swift' in honor of the singer's well-known affection for cats. Staff at the Somaliland rescue center reported that Swift quickly responded to a high-quality diet and touch-training. According to CFF founder and executive director Dr. Laurie Marker, the touch training was to prepare Swift for vaccinations. 'The training "is essential to desensitize cubs to the gentle touch since Taylor will begin her vaccine regimen soon,' she said in a statement to PEOPLE. She also noted that the cub's training 'has been successful,' with another center spokesperson sharing that Swift was 'doing all too well,' representing a small victory for wild cheetah conservation. A few weeks after Taylor Swift, the cub, was rescued, CCF welcomed four more cheetah cubs, all siblings, rescued from similar trafficking operations. According to a report, the conservation center introduced the new orphaned cubs to Swift once they were settled in. In no time, Swift bonded with them, but formed a particularly close relationship with one five-month-old cub. The center described him as 'playful, confident, and has a winning streak.' Seeing the bond between the two cubs, the cheetah center named the newcomer 'Travis Kelce' after the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end. They noted that both cats had become inseparable, spending a lot of time together. 'Not only is [cub Taylor Swift] thriving, it looks like we have a little Love Story unfolding on the savannah. The two have become nearly inseparable—grooming each other, napping side by side, and occasionally partaking in friendly roughhousing,' they said. The cheetah cubs' bond mirrors the beautiful relationship between singer Taylor Swift and her man. The pair sparked dating rumors in July 2023 when eagle-eyed Swifties spotted the NFL star at Swift's Eras Tour at the Arrowhead Stadium. Although a relationship wasn't confirmed at the time, the Grammy Award winner returned the favour two months later, making a surprise appearance at Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs game. The lovebirds seemingly confirmed their romance the following month after they were spotted holding hands in New York as they attended the 'SNL' after party. 'Taylor and Travis were there all night, and they were so smiley, they were so happy,' a source told PEOPLE at the time. 'They were so talkative. They were really fun. They talked to every single person in the room that talked to them.' The insider also noted that Swift and Kelce were super affectionate the whole night, giving each other kisses. Since going public with their relationship, Swift and Kelce have left fans cheesing on multiple occasions with their open show of affection. In February 2024, the 'Cruel Summer' hitmaker made the headlines when she showed support for her man at the Super Bowl, bringing along her family, friends, and even her parents. Fortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs won the game, and Swift couldn't hold back her happiness. She sprang onto the field, giving her man a congratulatory kiss. Over a year later, Kelce proved just how much he loved Swift when he celebrated her buying back her music catalog. 'Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too," Travis said. "Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog. Love you, big Diesel,' he said in an episode of his 'New Heights' podcast. Considering how strong Taylor Swift and Kelce's love is, fans are looking forward to when the 35-year-old will pop the question. According to a source, that day will definitely come. Speaking to the Daily Mail in May, an insider said, 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage. Her parents will say yes, and they can't wait for them to get engaged. Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen.' They also noted that the duo was treating the relationship as their last, adding, 'When they get engaged, when they get married, and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.'
