Ukrainian tennis players in a tight match managed to overcome the resistance of their rivals at the beginning of the competition.
Marta Kostyuk and Dayana Yastremskaya were able to support Lesya Tsurenko and also reached the second round of the WTA 250 series tournament in Hua Hin (Thailand).
Remember that it was not easy for our athletes. In the opening matches, both Ukrainian tennis players spent a lot of time on the court and managed to break the resistance of their rivals in only three sets.
Marta Kostyuk defeated Taiwan representative Yen Shuo Liang with a score of 6:7, 6:3, 6:0. The match lasted two hours and 10 minutes, with Kostyuk serving seven aces and committing nine double faults. Kostyuk also converted 7 of 17 break points against 3 of 7 from his opponent.
In turn, Yastremskaya spent 2 hours and 39 minutes on court. The rival of the Ukrainian is the second racket of Japan, Moyuka Uchidzima. Our tennis player won 6:3, 6:7, 6:2 – and this is the first victory for him this season. Dayana ended a four-match losing streak. Yastremska made 10 double faults in a match against a Japanese woman and converted 9 breaks out of 19.
