Since retiring from the sport of tennis, Zhuk has been living in Miami and working as a model and entrepreneur, according to her Instagram.
She came out of nowhere in 2015 to win the junior girls’ title at Wimbledon. She entered the tournament as an unseeded 15-year-old and eventually took the crown against fellow Russian Anna Blinkova, who was ranked 12th at the time.
Ongoing back problems forced Zhuk, who was playing through pain, into retirement.
“My body needed rest,” she told German newspaper Bild. “I was in so much trouble that even the doctors wouldn’t treat me … I’ve always played in terrible pain, I loved tennis but I had to think about my health.”
