‘Beyond gorgeous' – Professional model to make Wimbledon debut
A professional model will be making her debut at Wimbledon on Monday night. Carson Branstine will take on tournament favourite and world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Court 1. Branstine, 24, has gone through a different path than many tennis stars to reach South West London. The Sun reported the Canadian is currently ranked world No 190 and has had to find other ways of financing her WTA tour career. The brunette has been able to earn enough money through modelling to pay for her tennis expenses. Branstine has opened up about juggling the two different jobs and insisted that she did not want a handout. 'I love being in front of the camera during a shoot. It's fun, I love fashion,' she said. 'It's been one of the reasons I've been able to pay some of my trips. 'I didn't want to ask my parents for anything. I wanted everything to come from me and from my tennis. 'I wasn't signed by these agencies because of my tennis, it was for my look. 'Modelling and tennis are weirdly similar: you are an object a lot, and people sometimes forget you're a person too.' She reached Wimbledon through the qualifying rounds. She won three matches, including a victory against Lois Boisson, who was a French Open semi-finalist. Branstine will be up against it in her clash with top seed Sabalenka. Reacting to the draw she took to social media and posted: 'Maybe one day I'll get a good draw LOL.' Despite her lowly tennis ranking, she has still built up a strong fanbase of 20k followers on Instagram. Her account is full of pictures from her tennis and modelling lives. And fans are usually full of praise for her looks as she has been hailed 'beyond gorgeous.' While other fans have called her 'Goddess of Olympus' and 'perfection'. Branstine has seen her tennis career stall in the past due to injuries. She endured five years on the sidelines as she needed surgeries on both hips and both knees. The ace has also assisted a lawyer for a year and attended court cases in family law.

Russell Crowe steps out looking noticeably thinner
Russell Crowe has surprised with his unexpected appearance at the Mediterrane Film Festival, where he debuted a noticeably thinner appearance. The Australian actor, 61, was presented with the Malta Film Legend honour at the event's Golden Bee Awards, where he made an emotional speech about filming Gladiator in the European country more than two decades ago. Joined by his fiancee Britney Theriot, Crowe, who has been laying low in recent months, showed off his weight loss in an all-black suit. Speaking onstage while accepting his award, Crowe said he 'became a man in Malta' during the making of Ridley Scott's Gladiator, which earned the Aussie an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2000. 'For whatever films I had done before then, nothing had the majesty, ambition and budget and ultimately reach of Gladiator. It wasn't an easy production. I had to fight every day for the integrity of the character I was playing — just like the journey of the character himself in the movie,' Crowe began. He went on to tell a story about a memorable fan encounter he had a week prior in Italy, which spoke to the legacy of the film. 'I shook his [the fan's] hand and he started to cry. His friends told me later he's the head lifeguard of the local beach, he's got muscles on muscles, and they'd never seen him like that. I ended up hugging him,' Crowe said. 'When he got himself together, he said, 'You don't understand, when I was 8 years old, my mother sat me in front of a TV and put on a video cassette of Gladiator and told me, 'If you are ever wondering what type of man your mother expects you to be, it's this type of man.' 'The honour, the integrity, the faith – a man made in Malta.' The actor is as busy as ever right now, with a flurry of productions set for release over the next year. They include the drama movie Nuremberg co-starring fellow Oscar winner Rami Malek, in which Crowe plays real-life figure Hermann Göring – the right-hand man to Adolf Hitler. Meanwhile, the upcoming action thriller Bear Country, which was shot in Australia earlier this year, is currently in post-production. Crowe is also in pre-production for several films, including The Weight, Highlander, American Son and Unabomb.

Emma Raducanu comes clean on Carlos Alcaraz relationship as rumour mill runs wild
Emma Raducanu has put any rumours of a relationship with Carlos Alcaraz to bed. Raducanu and Alcaraz, both 22, have been subject to swirling rumours about a potential romance after they announced they would be teaming up as doubles partners for the US Open later this summer. The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles. SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that the duo's relationship goes further than the court, but Raducanu insists there's no romance. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: 'We're just good friends'. Raducanu is jumping at the idea of teaming up with the World No. 2, who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month. Recalling when Alcaraz asked her to join forces, Raducanu said: 'I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play. 'But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision.' On how they became friends, Raducanu added: 'I've known him for years. 'And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. 'And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. 'And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too.' Further lifting the lid on her connection with Alcaraz, Raducanu went on: 'We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. 'I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. 'Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you.' Raducanu was spotted cheering Alcaraz on when he won Queens earlier this month. And SunSport revealed the pair arrived at the club within minutes of each other on both occasions Emma went to watch Carlos play. A source said: 'Emma and Carlos' friendship was the talk of Queens – people think there is something going on between them because they have such a spark. 'He was apparently seen at her hotel last week and on Thursday and Saturday, when Emma went to support him, Emma's car arrived just minutes after Carlos got to Queens with his team. 'Inside they were seen laughing and joking with one another. Both Raducanu and Alcaraz will have their full focus on Wimbledon for now, with first-round action getting underway at the All England Club on Monday. Raducanu will open her account with a clash against fellow Brit, Mingge Xu. While Alcaraz will launch his defence of his 2024 title against Italian Fabio Fognini.
