Carson Branstine – The Tennis Star was dubbed the “most beautiful rookie Wimbledon” – has just shared about the remaining small amount in the bank account before her career has a positive turning point.
The Canadian, 24, has overcome the qualifying round to participate in Wimbledon this year, but soon stopped in the first round when encountering the world's No. 1 player Aryna Sabalenka. Even so, she still brought in 66,000 bonuses – a big financial push after a long time to play tennis as the driver delivered to make a living. In fact, Branstine revealed that at a time she cried when she saw that the bank account was only 26 USD (about 19 pounds).
She told Telegraf.rs: “When you play the ITF prizes and have to take care of all living expenses as a young athlete, everything is very expensive. I live in southern California, just filling the fuel tank only makes me burn.
“I thought I didn't know how to cover the cost of the tournament myself. I cried. I called my friends, because I was not called my parents – if they knew, they would definitely be angry. I just told myself: 'Don't think too much. Just do it.' And after the training session, I drove around Los Angeles to deliver dinner to the people. “
“This week, there are many things that happened for the first time in my life. The first time I qualified, I was the second time I attended a Grand Slam, the first time I played in the No. 1 field, and it was the first time I confront a top 10 player, not to mention it was the number 1 in the world. It was really happy, I didn't want it to end. I am very happy with all that happened.”
“To be honest, I'm not sure if the 'digestion' is the right word or not. Everything happens too fast, too rushing and I just try to enjoy every moment. Perhaps now when everything has ended, I have time to really feel it. But really great. I am proud of myself for a lot of reasons. Describe “.
Branstine used to be a model and work that helped her to cover trips to the WTA system. She also owns a bachelor's degree in social, ethical and law, and at the same time studying two additional specialties, philosophy and sports management. In addition, she was an assistant for a lawyer in a year, including participating in trials and processing records related to family law.
Modeling came to her quite naturally. The player ranked 194 in the world told Clay Tenis: “I like to stand in front of the lens when taking pictures. It's fun, I love fashion too. This is one of the reasons to help me have money to pay for some trips.”
“I don't want to ask for my parents' money. I want everything to come from my own efforts and the tennis. I am not signed by the modeling company because I play tennis, but because of my appearance. Strangely, the model and tennis athlete have the same point: you often look like an object, and people sometimes forget that you are also a human.”
