Profile & career

A player destined for tennis.

Marta Kostyuk grew up in the game: her father, Oleh, was the technical director of a junior tournament in Kyiv, and her mother, Talina, is a former professional who reached world No. 391 in the 1990s. She started playing at 5 and quickly stood out in the youth categories, winning the Orange Bowl and Les Petits As, then the Australian Open junior title at 14, on her way to world No. 2 in the junior rankings.

One of the most promising players on the WTA Tour, she won her first title in Austin in 2023 and broke into the top 20 in May 2024, where she has stayed since. Her best Grand Slam result came in Melbourne, with a quarter-final in 2024.

CAREER

Titles, year by year.

Marta Kostyuk turned professional in 2018 and reached the third round of the Australian Open at 15, where she was soundly beaten by her compatriot Elina Svitolina, then in the top 5. After a period of inconsistent results, she climbed the rankings and 2024 was her breakthrough year: a first WTA 1000 semi-final at Indian Wells, a quarter-final at the Australian Open, lost in three sets to Coco Gauff, and a ranking of world No. 16 in June. She has beaten players such as Gauff, Pegula, Zheng, Mertens, Svitolina and Vondroušová. She won her first final on the tour in Austin in March 2023, beating Varvara Gracheva 6-3, 7-5, and in 2024 reached two WTA 500 finals, in San Diego against Katie Boulter and in Stuttgart against Elena Rybakina, losing both. At Roland-Garros she reached the second week in 2021 before losing to Iga Świątek.
