Ukraine’s No. 2 player, Marta Kostyuk, concluded her run at the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA 500) tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico, which had a prize pool of $1.2 million.
In the quarterfinal match, Kostyuk, who is ranked 10th in the WTA rankings, lost to “neutral” player Lyudmila Samsonova, who is ranked 50th. The match ended with a score of 6–4, 2–6, 5–7.
The loss in Guadalajara prevented Kostyuk from climbing to ninth place in the WTA rankings the very next week. To set a new personal best, Marty needed to reach the semifinals.
