Jelena Ostapenko shows off her skills in unexpected hobby outside of tennis

Wimbledon mixed doubles champion Jelena Ostapenko has plenty to celebrate these days. She completed the trifecta of Grand Slam titles earlier this month. The Wimbledon mixed trophy joins the 2017 French Open singles and 2024 US Open women's doubles trophies in the 29-year-old Latvian's trophy case.

Ostapenko is a polarizing figure in women's tennis. Fans either love her, or they don't. Her outspoken nature can offend some, but she appears to have a different personality and interests off the court.

With the US Open beginning next month, Ostapenko could compete in all three disciplines. Before New York, she is expected to compete at both Canada's National Bank Open and at the Cincinnati Open.
