“Ukrainian woman summed up the season on the eve of the start at the WTA tournament 1000 in Uhan”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“This is my last tournament this year, and you start thinking about everything I have done and whether you could achieve more.
This year I had a lot of changes outside the court in how I do things and how I approach life, but I just feel that this year I came to the wall many times.
I lost many matches for players from the top ten, especially in Grand Slam tournaments. I went far on each of the Major, but I just couldn’t overcome the barrier in matches with these strong players.
Most times I have been very close, and now that the year is coming to an end, it is a certain disappointment. You know, I had a very stable year, and this is a good sign, but in general I understand that I didn’t have the last two steps to overcome such players.
It is necessary to show patience and hope that in the end, luck will return to my side and I think it will be.
So this year there was a lot of positive, but I had some problems with injuries, and I somehow found a way to overcome them and play.
In general, it was a good year, but as a result I was where I am, and of course, this is not enough for me.
What are the goals for the 2026 season? My goal is always Grand Slam tournaments. This is my goal for a long time, and I still seek stability to complete the year in the top 10.
I do not like to set goals in the form of a certain place in the rating, because in fact it is just a consequence of your work. I just need to try and improve the things I need to try and climb the new level next year. ”
On October 7, Kostyuk will play against Karolina Mukhova in the 1/32 finals of the Chinese thousandth. The meeting will begin approximately at 07:30 in Kiev.
