Australian tennis ace Ajla Tomljanovic is making waves on social media, and it's not just because of her powerful groundstrokes. The 33-year-old recently shared a series of swimsuit snapshots that have her fans hitting the like button in droves.
In the post, Tomljanovic exudes summer vibes, pairing the photos with the caption: “Summer really is that girl.” The comment section quickly filled with adoration, from “Simply beautiful” to “Summer looks good on you” and “So lovely.” It's clear the tennis star knows how to keep her followers engaged off the court.
While Tomljanovic's Instagram is sizzling, her 2026 season on the court has been more lukewarm. She hasn't made many deep runs this year, with her best result being a semifinal appearance at the Libéma Open. It's been a quiet stretch for the veteran, who has struggled to find consistent form.
But with the US Open main draw starting August 30, Tomljanovic has a golden opportunity to reset. She hasn't competed in a hard-court tournament in months, which could be a concern or a chance to come in fresh. The former world No. 32 knows what it takes to shine on the big stage.
Her most memorable moment came in 2022 when she defeated Serena Williams in the third round of the US Open, a match that ended Serena's storied career. Tomljanovic was emotional afterward, saying, “I’m feeling really sorry, just because I love Serena just as much as you guys do. And what she’s done for me, for the sport of tennis, is incredible. This is a surreal moment for me.”
That victory remains a career highlight, but Tomljanovic has yet to replicate that magic in subsequent Grand Slams. As she gears up for Flushing Meadows, fans are hoping her social media buzz translates into on-court success.
Tomljanovic's latest post adds to a growing trend of athletes sharing their summer moments. She joins the likes of Paige Spiranac's summer swimsuit snap and Mackenzie Dern's latest swimsuit photo in captivating fans online.
Whether or not Tomljanovic can channel this off-court buzz into a deep run at the US Open remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure: she's got the attention of the tennis world right now, both for her style and her potential for a comeback.
