Any tennis fan would know Wilson. It is one of the prime tennis racket makers and has created rackets of some of the best players in history. They have also sponsored the same for many legends. Their roster includes the likes of Roger Federer and Serena Williams. However, rarely does Wilson go beyond the racket sponsorship part. But they recently went a step ahead for Marta Kostyuk, who has her main sponsors in Wilson itself and not just for her racket.

Wilson sponsors a plethora of players for their rackets, but they rarely decide to sponsor a player for their other needs. However, seldom does a player have a relationship like Kostyuk’s with Wilson, as they went a step beyond for the Ukrainian player. Along with Kostyuk, they also went ahead and sponsored a player with more than just rackets.

Federer and Williams are part of their roster, but Kostyuk’s relationship with them is rare. She is sponsored by them head-to-toe and recently shared a post on Instagram about how Wilson came together to create a wedding dress for her.

The post includes nine pictures of her from various angles wearing the wedding dress designed by Federer’s old sponsors. The post also showed her husband’s suit, also designed by the American company.

She said, Wilson has always supported my dreams on the court, but my relationship with the brand goes far beyond tennis. A big shout out and huge thank you to the talented team there that worked around my demanding tour schedule to make another dream come true; a custom, one-of-a-kind wedding dress that turned out even more amazing than I could have imagined.@wilsontennis @wilson 🥹🥰🤍P.S.
