Marta Kostyuk is preparing for new victories
Marta and Mira’s previous two encounters on the court ended in defeats for the neutral Russian.
That is why the final of this match was a surprise for most women’s tennis fans.
According to Kostyuk, when she steps on the court, she doesn’t get particularly nervous or feel pressure.
Therefore, Marta does not believe that this played any role in her defeat.
As I said before, I don’t care who is on the other side of the net, I just go out and play. Today, everything that could have gone her way, went her way. And everything that could have gone wrong for me, went wrong. You know, it’s just one of those days. I accept it. I’ve had enough tough and bad days in my life to know that they end. Losing a match is not the worst thing in the world, no matter at what stage it happens.
