Marta was the only Ukrainian at the competition in Canada
Ukraine’s first racket Marta Kostyuk beat Elina Svitolina in a duel between two Ukrainians in the second round of the tournament WTA 1000 V Toronto (Canada).
Kostyuk made two breaks in the first set, but managed to take the game only with the fifth set point. The second set was already with the advantage of the former first racket of Ukraine – now Svitolina won two of her opponent’s serves. In the decisive set, Marta finished off Elina with the same score 6:2.
It should be noted that this is only the second duel between Kostyuk and Svitolina. Elina won their first meeting at the 2018 Australian Open.
Kostyuk crushed Tatyana Maria from Germany in the first round. Elina also easily dealt with American Shelby Rogers.
Marta was the only Ukrainian left at the tournament in Toronto. Let us recall that Dayana Yastremska finished her performance in the first round. Lesya Tsurenko lost in the second round of the competition.
