During a candid interview with Tennis Channel, Canadian tennis player Carson Branstine opened up about the unconventional path she’s taken to compete at the highest level. The 24-year-old revealed that in addition to modeling for major brands, she also worked as an Uber Eats delivery agent to support her tennis ambitions.
Branstine, who faced world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the first round of Wimbledon 2025, spoke with honesty and humor about juggling multiple roles to make ends meet. “I didn’t want to ask my family for money,” she said, explaining how she took on delivery shifts in Los Angeles earlier this year. Her final delivery, she noted, came just a day before she flew to Cancun for a WTA 125K event—where she reached her first final.
Modeling, while glamorous on the surface, hasn’t always been reliable. Branstine described the industry as unpredictable, with last-minute castings and inconsistent pay. Still, she embraced it as a way to fund travel and training, often squeezing in shoots between tournaments.
Her story has resonated with fans and fellow players alike, not just for its grit but for the way it challenges assumptions about what it takes to pursue a professional sports career. Branstine’s journey is a reminder that behind every appearance on Centre Court lies a story of hustle, sacrifice, and relentless drive.
