Tennis
Dayana rose rapidly through the professional tennis ranks, making a name for herself with a powerful baseline game and aggressive style.
She first caught the tennis world’s attention when she won her maiden WTA title at the 2018 Hong Kong Open at just 18 years old.
Since then, Dayana has secured three WTA singles titles and achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 21 in January 2020.
Her breakthrough on the Grand Slam stage came at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the semi-finals.
Despite her on-court successes, Dayana’s journey has not been without hurdles.
Ban scare
In 2021, she received a provisional doping ban after testing positive for a prohibited substance.
She protested her innocence and six months later was allowed to play again after an independent tribunal ruled that her positive test was merely the result of contamination.
Dayana subsequently struggled to return to her former ranking.
Fleeing war
In February 2022, she was forced to leave her home with her sister after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Odesa-born star posted a picture of herself alongside her younger sister Ivanna, writing: “After spending two nights in the underground parking, my parents made a decision at any cost to send me and my little sister out of Ukraine.
“Mom, Dad, we love you very much, take care of yourself!!! I love you my country! Ukrainians take care of your lives.”

Dayana, who chose to pursue tennis having been a promising swimmer and gymnast, was eventually joined in France by her mum Marina, while dad Ivan remained in Ukraine.
Hidden talent
During the pandemic, Yastremska showed off one of her other keen interests by releasing two singles.
Her songs Thousands of Me and Favourite Track were released in the summer of 2020, and she recently teased that she had some new music in the works.
“In February I hope that one new song will come out,” she teased.
Grass allergy
One of the most fascinating and somewhat ironic aspects of Dayana’s story is her allergy to grass — the very surface she will be competing at Wimbledon.
Despite this allergy, she has shown remarkable grit and adaptability.
In June 2025, she made history by becoming the first Ukrainian player in 17 years to reach a WTA Tour final on grass at the Nottingham Open.
She has openly talked about the discomfort her allergy causes — but also expressed her love for playing tennis on grass courts.
