Carson Branstine had a standout run through Wimbledon qualifying, winning all three of her matches to secure a spot in the main draw. Here’s a breakdown of her path:
- First Round: Branstine defeated Lois Boisson, the top seed and recent French Open semifinalist, in a hard-fought match: 6-2, 6-7(1), 6-4.
- Second Round: In a highly anticipated all-Canadian clash, Branstine overcame her longtime friend and former doubles partner Bianca Andreescu. The match was a rollercoaster, with Branstine prevailing 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-1. This win was especially meaningful, as Andreescu had been favored and previously reached the heights of world No. 4.
- Final Round: Branstine sealed her Grand Slam main draw debut by defeating Raluca Serban of Cyprus. While the exact scoreline wasn’t detailed in the sources, this victory completed her impressive qualifying campaign.
Why Carson is unique
Carson Branstine is financing her professional tennis career through modeling. Signed with two agencies, she uses her fashion work to fund travel and tournament expenses. Her modeling success stems from her look and personal passion rather than her athletic profile.
Balancing both careers comes with challenges, but she embraces the creative outlet and finds overlap in how both athletes and models are often perceived as images rather than individuals. Her earnings give her financial independence as she continues to chase her tennis ambitions without leaning on family support.
After years of injury setbacks, Branstine recently made a strong return by qualifying for her first Grand Slam main draw at Wimbledon—a milestone fueled in part by her efforts off the court.
