Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska has become the subject of a high-profile feature in the Spanish media, Marca.
Spanish sports journalist Enrique Corbella published a piece dedicated to Ukrainian tennis star Dayana Yastremska. The reason was her unexpected success in the first round of Wimbledon 2025, where she stunned the tournament by knocking out one of its favorites, Coco Gauff.
The article was released under the striking headline: "The scandalous tennis player, model, and singer with a grass allergy who is shaking up Wimbledon."
In the text, the journalist notes that Yastremska, according to her own words, has a mild allergic reaction to grass.
"I like playing on grass, although it seems I have a slight allergy to it," the Ukrainian remarked.
The author also focused on Dayana's versatility. He describes her not just as a tennis player, but as a true media personality who is actively building a career as a model, music performer, and brand ambassador.
Yastremska's Instagram is also highlighted, now boasting over 221,000 followers. There, Dayana shares glamorous looks and promotional projects that more resemble a modeling portfolio than an athlete's profile.
The growing interest from Europe's leading media outlets is yet another sign that Yastremska's influence reaches far beyond the tennis court.
Yastremska's next match
In the third round of Wimbledon, Dayana will face Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who defeated Kenin in the second round in straight sets (6:1, 7:6(4)).
