Sovereign Kostyuk wins First round match
Marta Kostyuk – Oksana Selekhmeteva 6:2, 6:3
The French Open has begun, and the yellow felt balls are flying back and forth again at the facility in southwest Paris. Finally. And all this in wonderful tennis weather and sunshine. For Marta Kostyuk, ranked 15th in the French capital, but no reason to spend too long on Court Simonne Mathieu, the third largest court on the complex.
The Ukrainian, who was allowed onto the pitch at 11 a.m., faced the Spaniard Oksana Selekhmeteva and showed a highly concentrated and playfully appealing performance. After an hour and 18 minutes it was already 6:2 and 6:3 and Kostyuk was able to celebrate making it into the second round. The Ukrainian now has the rest of the day free and it’s not as if Paris doesn’t have something to offer on a nice day.
