Besides all other aspects that decorated Elena Rybakina’s win at the Stuttgart Open, Kostyuk’s post-match humility was a highlight. Rybakina couldn’t be happier to go up against a formidable opponent and actually win. “I want to congratulate Marta of course, been a great tournament, great matches you played here, you’re playing really amazing and hopefully we’ll play many more finals,” the Kazakh player said.

Kostyuk, who looked close to tears by the end, wants to keep playing here in the coming years. “It’s an amazing event and I hope to be back here every year, thank you,” she said post the game. For 2024 though, it was her Kazakh opponent’s victory.
