Marta Kostyuk Reflects on Remarkable Clay-Court Run After Roland Garros Exit to Mirra Andreeva

Ukrainian tennis star Marta Kostyuk has vowed to cherish her impressive clay-court winning streak despite seeing it come to an end at Roland Garros following a defeat to rising Russian sensation Mirra Andreeva.

After her French Open campaign concluded, Kostyuk was asked what she would take away from the 2026 season so far. The world-class competitor responded with humor and pride, highlighting the extraordinary run she enjoyed on clay.

"For sure my streak. I take it with me to the grave," Kostyuk said with a smile.

The 23-year-old reflected positively on her clay-court season, which saw her win 17 consecutive matches before falling to Andreeva in Paris.

"Very happy with my clay court season. Just one loss. I mean, I would never believe it if someone told me this a couple months ago. Yeah, very happy."

Kostyuk's impressive form throughout the European clay season established her as one of the most consistent performers on the surface in 2026. Her 17-match winning streak included deep runs at major tournaments and demonstrated significant growth in her game ahead of the summer hard-court season.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on a place in the French Open final, Kostyuk's comments reflected satisfaction with her overall progress and confidence heading into the remainder of the year.

Meanwhile, Mirra Andreeva continues her dream run at Roland Garros, advancing to her maiden French Open final and further cementing her status as one of the brightest young stars in women's tennis.
