Marta Kostyuk Press Conference in Stuttgart after losing the final to Elena Rybakina 6-2, 6-2
Q. Congrats on the final. In terms of not being able to produce the fight today, how much of that was the crazy week catching up to you today and how much was it the tennis that Elena was able to produce?
MARTA KOSTYUK: I think 90% my tiredness played a role today. Every morning I didn't know what to expect from myself on the court today, because really me being able to pull off this whole week and play an amazing tennis yesterday was something incredible and something I would never expect I can do.
But today, you know, obviously I was very nervous. I wanted to win a lot this one, and yeah, I think there were a lot of things together. Yeah, I just couldn't probably bear it anymore.
Q. Did you have the feeling before the match that you are tired, or did it then really come in and you were not able to recover?
MARTA KOSTYUK: I don't know, because I wasn't looking for this feeling before the match, if I'm tired or not. I just tried to prepare myself as much as possible for this match.
Yeah, when I was on court, it was one point after another, game after game. Yeah, I really couldn't produce pretty much anything today.
Q. You're rightly proud of your achievements this week and this year as a whole, I heard that in your speech afterwards. But you were frustrated on that last point. You know, you showed it with the racquet throw. Do you sort of think that you didn't quite, you know, do yourself justice today?
KOSTYUK: I think it was more, like, have you ever lost a match for Porsche (smiling)? That hurts. I mean, honestly when I lost the match in San Diego, it didn't hurt as much as today. This is the only tournament in the world when you win something in the final besides, you know, a title and the prize money.
So of course this is something I really wanted, and yeah, I think whoever loses here in the final will understand me really well (smiling).
Q. Marta, would you then consider this week what you said in terms of what you were able to pull off this week, is this week a breakthrough week for you in terms of what you were able to accomplish? Does it feel that way?
KOSTYUK: It's much shorter tournament than a Grand Slam, even though it's a very high-level tournament. So I don't know, you know, because, you know, tennis itself, it's very different every day, every tournament.
You know, I can play a 500 and play four out of five matches against top-10 players, but Qinwen this year in Australia, she made it to the final of Australia without facing top-50 player.
You know, so you don't know, you know. Is it enough to win a Grand Slam when you play final of this tournament or not? Or you need to perform better? It's like I don't measure these things if, you know, it was a breakthrough or not, because I had really a lot of incredible weeks this year, and they were all very different, very different level of players, but some weeks I was overcoming more stuff, you know, some weeks less.
But I don't probably measure it in a way if it was a breakthrough or not, because it was an amazing week, and I went through a lot of things and I managed to push through and come out on the other side better. This is the only thing I'm focusing on.
Q. How would you describe the impact of Sandra Zaniewska on your game and on your improvement?
KOSTYUK: I mean, you can see the results. I will not tell you a lot of specific things, but she definitely has and had a lot of impact on my game and on my life, so it's important to have someone like this by your side, especially if it's someone that is close to you.
Q. At 6-2, 5-2, 40-15 down, you're facing two match points, you would go on to face another one as well, which I think you saved, did you still believe at that point, or did you thank, I can't do this for another hour? Or did maybe your other matches this week help you in that moment, think, I could get into back into this? It was obviously a long way behind.
KOSTYUK: I was thinking this way earlier than match point, I tell you this, that I will not be able to handle this for more than one hour.
Yeah, I'm a human being, at the end of the day, like all of us. Of course, you know, it's not like I was giving up at the end, but on the match points I was, like, you know you got to fight till the end, because what if she just falls now and she cannot get up and you win?
But this is the only thing you can really do in these moments, because you can be delusional but to certain point. I'm not that delusional yet to believe in something like this, yeah, because it was really a tough, tough week for me. You know, I had a very, very good player on the other side.
Yeah, I was fighting, but I still, you know, I don't feel like I believed in a miracle today. - Розваги
It is too bad she could not be humble in defeat, instead blaming 90% of the loss on her being tired, instead of the fact she was outplayed and soundly beaten. Elena always plays 3 sets, so being tired is not a factor. Congrats Elena.
Yeah omg. It’s 90% due to Elena’s overpowering for sure. She needs to acknowledge that or she’ll never beat Elena
its an unwritten rule in womens tennis..grudgingly acknowledge your opponent. only give scant praise and furnish the look away handshake
@@xirodspace she beat her i 2017)
@@user-lm5cn8du4v LOL 2017 and Elena was what - 18 years old? Just turned pro?
She may be tired but Ryba was just too strong and Ryba had to take out Iga. Still this no name girl did great to beat 3 top 10 players to get to final. Great result and should be proud.
After dissing Raducanu's run at the USO 2021 now she is shading Qinwen. Why does she have to be rude and dismissive like that? In her head, she is better than what she actually is, which is baffling. A little grace comes a long way.
Elena played Marta at the end of last year in the first round and the score was 6:2 6:1 so I think saying “90% of the win was due to tiredness” was disingenuous and petty. But she has a reputation of being shady to players that are clearly more successful than her (Zheng, Raducanu, Sabalenka, Azarenka etc)
Well Marta took out 2 top 10 players so she's got talent. Beating Coco Puff ain't easy so all credit for that. But there's a reason why Ryba beat Iga.
@@jonfreeman9682 Sure.. but my comment had nothing to do with her talent so your reply seems fairly pointless 😂
Marta your fighting spirit is great ♥️🎾💙💛
I am not sure whether to acknowledge her honesty (and delusion) about attributing the loss to "90% tiredness", shade at Qinwen for reaching AO final without beating a top 50 player (like she said about Emma for the 2021 USO) or worst of them all, expecting to win if Rybakina falls down and can't get up (this is a real low).
Sweetheart, you were clearly outplayed
Желаю вам успехов в дальнейшем, но Елена лучшая ♥️ мы её любим 🇰🇿
This woman is delusional. She thinks she's at the same level as Elena.
Confidence is s*xy. I'll allow it. 😏
Confidence is hawt. 😏 I'll allow it.
Marta said Raducanu had a very easy draw to win USO, now she says the same about Quinwen reaching the final of AO. Here she lost vs Elena that defeated world #1 the round before and she says it was because she was tired, she is not humble at all, what's her problem ? Probably she is waiting for an easy draw to win something big. She has the worst attitude on WTA
She was lucky to even play Coco after escaping from Zheng , Zheng misses at least 5 match points luck has played a great role for her to be in the final
There is a huge gulf between a top 4 player and a top 30 player. As good as she is, Marta has a lot to learn!
Why throw shade on Qinwen?
I agree Qenwen did so well in Australia if ranking was everything how come Emma at 302 was beating top 50s. Marta said same thing about Emma in US open and saying 90% of loss today was tiredness what a joke. Elena could beat her 90% time if she was as fresh as a daisy.
Did she throw shade?
@jonfreeman9682 Oh yes, she did.
@@jonfreeman9682 3.55 she says Qenwen made it to final without beating top 50 player. What is she trying to imply?
@@balin9112 So I checked and well... she's not wrong. 😂 Zheng made the Aussie final without facing top 10. In fact she didn't even face top 50. Before Saba in final she faced off against rank 76, 54, 94, 95, 75, 93 but that's not her fault. It happens where higher rank players get knocked out early. Zheng got blown away by Saba but at least it wasn't a double 🥯
Wow, Elena was the better player. She will get there and did well. I noticed in her speech that it was an afterthought to even congratulate Elena. If Elena beat Iga, it would've been a miracle for her to beat a top 10 ten player in the final. I am not sure if this was her 1st final. But her nerves were a factor. But she will continue to get better.
Marta you are very rude and disrespectful. I am happy you lost. You will never win the Porsche.
She's arrogant, for sure, and protected by the Western press. But she's also hella skilled. I think you should prepare yourself for more Kostyuk wins in the future.
What? When was she rude and disrespectful? Or did she beat a player of which you are a fan and can't accept it?
Full of..ego. Sorry for this Character..Elina is very humble and deserve...💥more than .100%
Agree with you..100%
Rude because honesty from a woman bothers you. She didn't answer dumb questions the way you wanted?
Delay scammer tactics used against Coco wouldn't work against Elena Rybakina.
@@ThomasAnders-wu7bd She called a physio when Coco was on fire and shortly after that ran away with the match. Observers didn't notice any apparent injury. Just delay tactics to slow down Coco.
Kudos to John Silk for mentioning the racquet throw.
Russian Bot. Ignore.
@@brucefreifeld4763 How dare you! Just because the ladies flock to John Silk like he was a young Marat Safin does not make him a Russian bot. He is a fine, upstanding English lad, thank you very much. Good day, sir! *hmph*
she lost because she was tired 😂😂
Well she is but Ryba was too good. Ryba took out Iga and there's not many who can.
she spent 11 hours in 3 days on the court, what's so funny being tired after that?
Nothing funny. Decent person would just congratulate better opponent and move on.
@@nervozni you're just a hater seeking excuses to hate
@@nbss I was actually happy for her for reaching finals.
Did they really need to zoom in
Shes got a terrible attitude on the court....shes always performing and carrying on with her coach!!....learn some manners and become graceful and humble...that will make you a better person for sure!!!
The fact. She served very badly. At this level second serves dont win matches. She was not thinking clearly. She obviously under estimated Rybakina.! She did not use her oppertunities well. No moon balls in this match.? Very few dropshots. No lobs when Rybakina came to the ner? Total lack of concentration all through the match. At this level you must hold your serve to force a tie break.There anything can happen if you hold your serve as well.
Marta is clearly an independent analytical thinker and gives her perspective on the sport and matters of interests to her. This is something to be celebrated as a positive and coming from a place of strength, self-belief and tenacious confidence in her abilities and potential.
I think Elena was too good today its just one of those things Elena just had one of those days ask iga
Congratulations to Marta on an excellent tournament. Great for tennis and an inspiration for Ukraine 🇺🇦. Cheers from NYC
The loser enjoys the limelight...
If not so arrogant in your answers sometimes and probably being more humble, then perhaps you would win one day a final! ‘ do you have a driving license’ ? ‘ of course ‘ Learn to be more humble !
She is a future Grand Slam champion. She beat 3 top 10 players and ran outta steam for the boss fight.
Well done Marta! ❤
:)
🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
De toute manière elle raconte ce qu'elle veulent rybakina es au dessus du lot .quand tu bas swiatek et sabalenka qui peu l'inquièter sur le circuit à part un souci de santé ?
Esta jujadora es la mas Nica de circuito...🤣🤣🤣

sheat
Trillions actually. Biden loves doling out money to everyone.

You are so uninformed and have no clue of the global implications if Ukraine loses. Educate yourself please. 🇺🇸💙
@@catherinebush6548 Being uninformed often better than being misinformed, which is the case with indoctrinated cult members like yourself
🇺🇦🇺🇦 Marta Kostyuk 🇺🇦🇺🇦 !!
Someone should ask her what she's gonna do with her piece of the $95 billion Americans are sending to Ukraine so Kyiv can keep payroll.
Stay alive?
@@j.s3300Too late for that, unfortunately. But I sure hope you're right.
What are you on about? It is $61b for Ukraine (not 95) - so they can fight FOR THEIR LIVES, against a murderous despot.
She is not in the army - what piece? I imagine she supports her country from her winnings, as I know her compatriots do.
Oh, my bad. It's only $61 billion. Lol (This time around; there have been many material aid packages over the years). Regardless, if the Americans really wanted to save Ukrainian lives they would not have scuttled a peace deal in the first months of the invasion. Let's not pretend the US has any interest in keeping those folks alive.
