Tennis Star Marta Kostyuk Causes Fan Frenzy In Blue Swimsuit
Ukrainian tennis star Marta Kostyuk is thriving on and off the court this spring.
A week ago, Kostyuk won her first WTA 1000 title by defeating Mirra Andreeva in the Madrid Open final. That victory helped her climb up to a career-best No. 15 in the WTA rankings. It also preserved her 11-match winning streak.
"It feels unbelievable to stand here right now," Kostyuk said during her victory speech. "It took many years for me to reach this point, and the one word I think about right now is consistency. It's showing up every day, no matter how hard it is, no matter how much you love or hate what you do, and I've been doing that really well."
Fans were hoping to see Kostyuk compete in Rome this week, but she withdrew from the tournament due to injury.
"After the best stretch of my career, I was looking forward to Rome. But sometimes your body has other plans, and over the past few days I've been dealing with a hip issue," Kostyuk wrote on social media. "With my ankle still not fully at 100%, it's just not smart to keep pushing right now, so I won't be competing there this year. Now it's time to recover and get ready for Paris."
Judging by Kostyuk's latest Instagram post, her recovery process seems to be going just fine.
Kostyuk posted a few swimsuit photos this Saturday that left some of her fans speechless.
"QUEEN MARTA," one fan commented.
"Well deserved moments of relaxing Marta," an Instagram user wrote.
"You're perfect," another fan declared.
Is more magic on the way for Marta?
Kostyuk, 23, has never made it past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament. That being said, she's a legitimate contender heading into Roland Garros.
As of this weekend, Kostyuk has the sixth-best odds to win this year's French Open title. Her odds certainly improved after she won titles in Madrid and Rouen.
The main draw for the French Open will begin on May 24.
