"I will do everything to be ready for Cincinnati," announces Kostyuk after withdrawal in Montreal
Marta Kostyuk’s run in Montreal came to an end in the quarterfinals. The Ukrainian, ranked 28th in the world, was forced to retire during her match against Elena Rybakina (6-1, 2-1 ret.).
After her victories against Vondrousova, Kasatkina, and Kessler—each time after losing the first set—Kostyuk was unable to finish her match against the Kazakh player this time due to a right wrist injury.
On Instagram, the 23-year-old shared a message with her fans and hasn’t completely ruled out playing in the Cincinnati tournament, which begins in the coming days in Ohio.
"It’s hard to put into words how this week went. It ended painfully, but it was also one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable weeks I’ve had on tour.
I felt present, alive, and this week reminded me how much I love all of this. There were so many victories, on and off the court, that meant far more than any result.
These are moments that will stay with me long after this week. I leave Montreal with my head held high and my heart full of emotions. To everyone who came to see me, supported me, and sent me messages—thank you.
Things wouldn’t have been the same without you. I will do everything to be ready for Cincinnati. And I’m already looking forward to coming back here in two years to play in front of this incredible crowd again. All my love, Montreal," Kostyuk wrote on social media.
