“Ukrainian tennis player gave comments for Tennis Channel”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The 22-year-old Ukrainian, who reached the quarterfinals in Madrid last week, looked confident and did not allow any break-point in the match with Eala, which previously reached the semifinals in Miam this season.
Answering a question about a 19-year-old rival after victory, Kostyuk noted that such defeat is a necessary step to the highest level, and Eala would take a lesson from this heavy defeat.
“Honestly, I sympathize with these girls. By this point, I had an incredible career, and I would not ask for something more, because it was really an incredible journey. I just feel that when you’re young, you’re not yet formed. Your personality is just developing, and the labels are already hung around your game, your character and everything else.
You find yourself at the center of all that is happening, and you try to understand who you are. It is very easy to get lost, and obviously you do not know what people you should have. It’s okay. It is part of life and adulthood, but to do all this under the light of soffits is always much more difficult, and it always has consequences.
I thought about it during today’s match. I told myself, “She will get her. She will be nearby. ” But the fact is that when you are young, you inevitably pass through such days as today, and I saw that it is difficult for her to withstand it.
I saw that it was difficult for her today, and she felt uncomfortable in these conditions. We all have such days. Personally, I never played well in Rome or Madrid! All new is a difficult period.
Honestly, I would not want to be young again, ”Marta Kostyuk said in a comment for Tennis Channel.
Although Kostyuk is only 22 years old, she comforted Eal near the net.
“It is incredible to be here. This is not a reason to regret, they say, sorry that you are so talented, you know? It’s cool, but the path is very difficult. I told her near the net: “The way is not easy, but you will handle. Just get fun, ”because it’s true. It is unpleasant to go to the court after a long preparation and see that nothing works and you can’t understand what is the matter.
You feel much stronger. Everything seems so big, but this is because they did not have enough matches yet, they have not yet passed because of the shit through which you pass!
But this is cool, because if you have experienced it – congratulate: you will become stronger on the other side. ”
