Jelena Ostapenko: Roland Garros champion and ballroom dancer. The 20-year-old shared some of her dance practice on Snapchat, clearly working hard on her footwork for the Wimbledon grass courts, or perhaps the Champions' Ball.

Ostapenko actually trained to be a dancer from the young age of 5, even competing in the National Latvian Championships for Ballroom Dancing. Of course, she eventually chose tennis, and that's gone pretty well for her.

“At home I try and go ballroom dancing four times a week,” Ostapenko said. “It really helps with the footwork on the court. My favorite dance is the Samba.”

Despite leading by a break in the third set, Ostapenko fell in the Eastbourne quarterfinals on Thursday to Johanna Konta.
