Never Did I Think’: Lydia Ko Sends Strong Message to Vogue as She Follows Nelly Korda’s Footsteps

Published

on

Lydia Ko is just 27, and she has already reached the zenith of success. Not only has she bagged 22 wins on the LPGA Tour in the past decade, but is also the only female golfer to have bagged Olympic medals of all three colors. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, she won the gold medal and that paved the way for her long-awaited dream. Lydia Ko earned a place in the LPGA Hall of Fame as its 35th member, making history as the youngest player ever to receive the honor.

That same year, she was also awarded the title of Dame in New Zealand in recognition of her contributions to golf. And now, she seems to have once again achieved a new milestone. Iconic fashion magazine Vogue Korea designated March as ‘Vogue Women’s Month’ and launched the ‘Vogue Leaders: 2024 Woman Now’ campaign in 2024. On February 20, 2024, Vogue Korea revealed the full lineup of 24 covers for their March 2024 issue, showcasing remarkable women from the entertainment, arts, and fashion industries.

Featured on the covers were celebrated figures from various generations and fields, including figure skater Kim Yuna, actress Go Hyun Jung, Taeyeon, IVE’s Jang Won Young, and more. The campaign aimed to highlight the accomplishments of women across different fields through content, exhibitions, and discussions. A portion of the proceeds from the campaign was donated to the Korean Women’s Foundation, supporting the discovery and advancement of female talent. The same edition will be returning this year to continue its tribute to women’s contributions.

And guess what? Lydia Ko will be featured in this year’s edition of the $1.1 billion company. A few hours ago, she took to her official Instagram account and shared pictures of her from the shoot. The first one was the sample cover page of the magazine, and the rest were her posing wearing different dresses for the Fashion Magazine. In all excitement, she captioned the thread, Never did I think that I’d ever be on the cover of a fashion magazine 💛 thank you @voguekorea @loropiana for bringing out the ‘model’ in me!”

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
