Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk is one of the tennis world’s rising stars. The 20-year-old already has WTA singles and doubles titles under her belt and promises to set courts on fire in the coming years. However, going by recent developments, it seems that tennis is not Kostyuk’s sole focus in life right now.

Through a recent Instagram post, Marta shared an adorable photo of herself along with an unnamed young man. More importantly, the rapidly rising tennis ace showed herself wearing a ring, more or less confirming that she was engaged. Unsurprisingly, there were several well-wishers who gave their blessings to Kostyuk.
