The Ukrainian tennis player, after the victory in the qualification, won the main round of the competition.
Marta Kostyuk won the first round at the prestigious WTA 500 series tournament in Adelaide, Australia. It should be noted that the Ukrainian tennis player got into the main draw of the competition thanks to his success in qualifying.
At the beginning of the competition, in a difficult three-set match, Kostyuk broke the resistance of the hostess of the courts – Jamie Furlis. Our compatriot is considered the favorite of the confrontation, because the Australian ranks only in the middle of the second hundred of the WTA rankings, and he entered the competition only thanks to a wild card from the organizers.
However, the Ukrainian woman had to face her opponent in two hours and six minutes. During this period, Kostyuk filed three times, committed eight double faults and converted six of 11 break points.
6:1, 3:6, 6:4 – in favor of Marta, and in the second round she will meet the winner of the match between Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan and fifth seed Danielle Collins from the USA.
