As a result, the 16-year-old Russian tennis player had to face local tennis player Yanis Ghazouani Duran in the final. The Frenchman won.

“Exhibition tournaments are a show, a facade, they are not competitions. If there were official competitions, someone else would play instead of Kostyuk. It is up to Kostyuk to decide whether she wants to play or no. It’s his right.
