Marta Kostyuk withdrew from the tournament in Montreal due to an injury: what happened to the Ukrainian.

In the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal, Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk interrupted her participation due to a wrist injury. She attempted to continue the match, but health issues prevented her from competing evenly against her opponent.

In the match against Elena Rybakina, she lost the first set 1:6, and then retired with a score of 1:2 in the second, reports the Novyny.LIVE portal.

Elena Rybakina had a confident match against the Ukrainian, and after Marta Kostyuk's refusal to continue the match, the Kazakh player, who previously played for Russia, advanced to the semifinals. There she will meet the winner of the pair between Victoria Mboko and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

What happened to Kostyuk

The Ukrainian felt pain after the first game of the second set, and medical support helped clarify the seriousness of the situation.

Before the injury, Kostyuk was demonstrating aggressive tennis, but physical issues prevented her from maintaining the pace. Her opponent behaved in a bold manner, which increased the pressure, and Marta was forced to end the match prematurely.

Her early exit was one of the biggest surprises of the Canadian tournament. Meanwhile, another Ukrainian tennis player, Elina Svitolina, continues to fight in the same tournament and is preparing to meet Naomi Osaka in the quarterfinals.
