young tennis star, the ranking of Marta Kostyuk drops after his withdrawal from the Stuttgart open due to an injury
In a shocking turning point in events, the young star of tennis Marta Kostyuk was forced to withdraw from the imminent Stuttgart WTA (Porsche Tennis Grand Prix) due to an injury suffered during the Billie Jean King Cup. This unfortunate development will see the Kostyuk ranking plunged to at least 35th place in the world, a significant fall in ten places.
Kostyuk, who had reached the final of the tournament last year, was eagerly awaited to face Mirra Andreeva in the last 32. However, a lucky loser will now take her place to face the Russian player in what promised to be a thrilling match to open the Stuttgart open.
Expressing his disappointment, Kostyuk took Instagram to share the news with her fans, declaring: “Unfortunately, the injury I suffered in my last BJK Cup match will not heal in time and I will not be able to participate in Stuttgart this year. I had an incredible time while reaching the final here last year, thank you for these memories. I’m really sorry for fans and so grateful for all your support. »»
The withdrawal of Marta Kostyuk is added to a list of losses in the tournament, with players like Zheng Qinwen and Ons Jabeur having also withdrawn before the event. Despite these setbacks, the table remains filled with high level talents, including Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva.
For Kostyuk, this injury means not only missing the defense of its points last year, but also facing the challenge of going back in the ranking from the outside of the Top 32. With a better career ranking in 16th place in the world, the young Ukrainian will have work to do on her return.
The absence of Marta Kostyuk of the Stuttgart Open has sent shock waves through the world of tennis, leaving fans and experts waiting for his return to competition.
