The 23-year-old is renowned for grabbing the headlines thanks to her outfits. And yesterday at the U.S. Open was no different.
She appeared wearing a very low-cut cerise dress and what could only have been a push-up bra.

Mattek first drew attention to herself when she wore a leopard print outfit at the 2004 U.S. Open.
She was fined again a year later for sporting a striped cowboy hat, and she has come up with a bold new uniform for the Open every year since.
Last year she appeared wearing a gold lamé Wonder Woman outfit complete with headband.
With no WTA singles titles to her name, it is those outfits which have brought her more publicity than her tennis.
But in July the tennis star, from Rochester, Minnesota, said she wanted people to pay more attention to her game.

She said: 'I really wanted my tennis to do more of the talking than my outfits since I've gotten so much publicity for that.
Mattek has been ranked as high as 21st in the world in doubles, but she has never made it to a singles final at a WTA event.
Things appeared to be looking up at this year's Wimbledon, where she wore regulation white and made it all the way to the fourth round.

She added: 'I had a great couple months so far and I'm excited for this U.S. Open series - I really don't have that many points to defend from last year.'
Yesterday the U.S. No.44 struggled to beat Marta Domachowska from Poland, eventually winning her first round match at Flushing Meadows 6-7(7) 7-5 6-4.
