One of the most beautiful Russian tennis players Vitalia Diatchenko performs at the US Open wearing a new uniform from the Hydrogen company. It's made in the colors of the American flag.
Vitalia posted the photo in the new uniform on social media, with the following caption: "Courts of New York. Hydrogen's new collection." It should be noted that Diatchenko's dress turned out to be very stylish, but didn't bring any luck. She couldn't even qualify in it.
Today we will introduce you to the charming tennis player Vitalia Diatchenko.
The girl was born on August 2, 1990 in the city of Sochi and started playing tennis from the age of five thanks to her parents. Vitalia has a brother Sergei, who plays hockey. At the age of 11, the girl moved to Moscow and started her journey in professional sports.
She performed poorly because of constant injuries
Vitalia's career wasn't easy ever since the juniors. She had talent, but the results didn't come because of constant injuries. She debuted in an ITF tournament in 2007, but her injuries made it impossible for her to show good results. It took Diatchenko four years to recover. Of course, everyone was waiting for Diatchenko to come back, but conquering any heights was out of the question.
2011 was absolutely the best year of Vitalia's career. She got her first WTA title and was playing very well together with Elena Vesnina. However, she was injured again. This time it was the meniscus which caused her to miss several competitions. In 2013, Vitalia seemed to come back and already in the next season she became the 71st racket of the world. It was the best result in Diatchenko's career.
She beat Maria Sharapova herself
The 3rd round of Grand Slam tournaments in 2018 was a real success for Vitalia. First she beat the great Maria Sharapova, and then she snatched victory from the American Sofia Kenin. Then Jelena Ostapenko stopped Diatchenko from moving on. In 2020 the fans were waiting for Vitalia at the US Open, but she didn't show up at the court, saying that she got another injury.
She was called "The Hulk" because of her big muscles
It's hard to believe, but fragile tennis player Vitalia Diatchenko was once compared to a man. It happened in 2019, when she beat Serena Williams herself in the first set of the opening match of Roland-Garros. True, then the American smashed her opponent to pieces, but this did not prevent Vitalia from becoming almost the most popular tennis player at the tournament. And all thanks to Australian journalists.
The authors of the article who turned Diatchenko's photo into a meme didn't have any bad intentions and even expressed their admiration of her physical shape. But they compared the beauty with cartoon superheroes and... a jock Rafael Nadal. For some reason no one paid attention to the muscularity of Serena Williams.
The photo is obviously unfortunate, but we must understand that it's just a photo. All high-profile tennis players have big muscles, of course. And here all the factors were combined - the concentration in the peak form, and a certain foreshortening.
Vitalia takes part in numerous photo shoots
No matter how hard the Australian media try, Vitalia has model-like parameters - she has long legs and a pretty face. No wonder she's often featured in photo shoots. One of the most recent was a shoot in a black tight-fitting bodysuit and a leather jacket.
Despite failures in her career, Vitalia Diatchenko will be remembered by everyone with her stunning looks. We hope that one day she will make her talent shine as much as her beauty.
