Hello, I’m Marta
I picked up a racket at five years old and turned professional at fourteen. Since then, tennis has taken me around the world. It has introduced me to people, places, and opportunities far beyond the game.
Most of my life has been shaped by this sport. There are the matches, the training, the travel, and the routines that come with competing. But the moments I remember most have happened away from the court.
One of those moments happened in 2024, when Wilson designed my wedding dress. Rather than a traditional wedding dress, I wanted something simple, light, and comfortable that would let me enjoy every moment of the day.
What started as a dress for one unforgettable day became the inspiration for something entirely new. Together with Wilson, we transformed that idea into the first Marta Dress.
For Wimbledon 2026, we started from scratch, exploring different silhouettes, technical fabrics, and details inspired by traditional Ukrainian lace. I was involved throughout the process, trying different versions, sharing feedback, and refining every detail.
Projects like this remind me how many unexpected opportunities tennis has brought into my life, from creative collaborations to experiences far beyond anything I ever imagined.

Long before my Foundation existed, I was already speaking about opportunities for young athletes. At thirteen, I stood before the Ukrainian Parliament to talk about the conditions they needed to develop. Looking back, that moment probably said more about where I was heading than I realised at the time.
In 2023, my family and I founded the Marta Kostyuk Foundation to make tennis more accessible to children across Ukraine and create more opportunities for the next generation through sport and education.
The sport has shaped my life in countless ways, and through the Foundation we’re working to give more children the chance to discover what it can bring.

I’ve always believed the best collaborations happen with people you enjoy working with. I’m lucky to have found many of those along the way.

For Big Moments
Every child deserves the opportunity to discover tennis, unlock their potential, and build confidence both on and off the court. That’s why the Marta Kostyuk Foundation is working to make tennis more accessible across Ukraine.
Our programmes are designed to promote tennis through media and storytelling, make the game more accessible in schools, and support young athletes through scholarships, mentorship, and educational opportunities.
This work takes shape through the Foundation’s projects. The book Heart on the Court celebrates Ukraine’s tennis heritage, the School Match Point project introduces schoolchildren to tennis, and our educational initiatives provide young athletes from low-income families with access to scholarships, educational opportunities and mentoring support.
With your support, we can expand School Match Point across Ukraine, equip more schools, support more teachers, and create new opportunities for young people to discover tennis and reach their potential.
