Marta Kostyuk (28) confidently advanced to the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing. In the second round, the Ukrainian defeated the German player Ella Seidel (95).
The match lasted just 59 minutes and ended with a score of 6:1, 6:1.
Kostyuk took control of the game from the first rally and appeared remarkably confident on her serve and during crucial points. The difference in skill level between the players was immediately evident.
The only minor issue was the need to fend off three break points against her while serving for the first set. However, Marta handled this well and ultimately achieved an easy victory.
Here’s a brilliant rally won by the 23-year-old Ukrainian at the end of the match.
Throughout the match, Kostyuk served 4 aces, made no double faults, and achieved 5 breaks. Her opponent did not hit any aces, made 6 errors on serve, and did not secure a single break.
