KOSTYUK: “I feel calm because I don’t need to act”
Marta Kostyuk She successfully competes in the WTA tournament in Beijing and today beat the seventh racket of the world Ons Jabeur. The Ukrainian tennis player believes this is the result of working with Polish coach Sandra Zanevska, with whom they have been working together since August.
“When I was in a bad mood, none of the other coaches worried or tried to understand why I felt that way. They just talked to me or left me alone. Sandra changed that and I thought, ‘Wow, this is next level training.’ I’ve never seen this.”
I feel very calm because I don’t have to pretend. I don’t know how to say anything to him. I am very emotional, many coaches tried to control this before. Sandra just lets me be who I am,” Kostyuk said.
In the 1/8th of the tournament in Beijing, Marta Kostyuk will play with Lyudmila Samsonova (No. 22 WTA).
