La giocatrice ucraina Marta Kostyuk è diventata campionessa WTA 1000

That trophy design is something else… avant-garde. A can of beans with idk what flying out. Bravo.

*”For the past five years, instead of presenting victors with traditional silver cups, the tournament has awarded avant-garde sculptures designed by renowned Spanish artist David Rodríguez Caballero. For the 2026 edition, Caballero turned to the explosive mechanics of Alcaraz to design the championship prize.*

*This year’s Madrid Open trophy (named Aphormē) sculpture was inspired by a specific image: a photograph of Carlos Alcaraz serving,”* [*Caballero explained*](https://okdiario.com/coolthelifestyle/cultura/david-rodriguez-caballero-autor-del-trofeo-del-mutua-madrid-open-inspire-foto-alcaraz-949059-)*. Based on a photo taken by Antonio Calanni in Turin, the artist used his signature metal-folding techniques to capture the sheer physical violence of the Spaniard’s serve. “The torso is perfectly sharp, but his racket appears to be in motion,” Caballero said, creating a three-dimensional shape that transforms into “a funnel or a spiral in motion.”*

Russia losing on the tennis court too… love it!

Slava Ukraine!
