“Marta defeated Heather Watson in the 1/8 finals of the competition in Seoul”, — write: sport.ua
In the 2nd round, the Ukrainian defeated the British Heather Watson (Great Britain, WTA 183) in 1 hour and 16 minutes with a score of 6:2, 6:2.
A funny episode happened at Martha’s first match ball. The Ukrainian served with the second ball for the match with a score of 40:15. As a result, the ball hit the square, but a little wrong… It turned out to be a kind of ace, but in fact it was a double mistake. However, from the next match point, Kostyuk closed her opponent.
Previously, Alyona Ostapenko performed a similar serve at the WTA 500 grass tournament in Eastbourne.
In the quarterfinals of the competition in Seudi, Kostyuk will play against Diana Schneider (WTA 16), who is seeded under the 4th number and performs in “neutral” status.
