"There are days when nothing works," regrets Kostyuk after her first-round defeat at Roland-Garros
Seeded number 26, Marta Kostyuk was knocked out in the first round at Roland-Garros. The Ukrainian suffered a heavy loss against the Czech qualifier Sara Bejlek (6-3, 6-1).
A disappointment for Kostyuk, who had an interesting clay season. In a press conference, the quarterfinalist in Doha and Madrid this year spoke about her defeat.
"It's impossible to know exactly why I lost. I'm just like everyone else. There are days when nothing works. And today, that was exactly the case.
Nonetheless, I must say that my opponent played high-level tennis. I, on the other hand, played poorly. It's unfortunate that it happened during a Grand Slam tournament, but that's how it is. I believe that after heavy defeats, victories always come.
I can't change today's result, but I can keep working. Nothing catastrophic happened. She (Bejlek) has a very specific style of play. I think clay suits her well, it's her preferred surface.
I'm sure I'll have a better chance to take my revenge if we have to face each other on hard or grass," Kostyuk told the local media Tribuna after the match.
