Kostyuk after beating Vondrousova in Stuttgart Petkovic: “We heard Rybakina doesn’t have a drivers license. Does Marta have one?” Marta: “Yes. Of course I do” 😂
Marta Kostyuk unlike Elena Rybakina can drive her new Porsche if she wins the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. Reaching the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix by defeating Marketa Vondrousova, she will now set her sights on her biggest title on Sunday.
With it comes a brand new Porsche Taycan S and after Rybakina confirmed that she doesn't have a drivers' license to even drive the car, Kostyuk was asked the same question and gleefully responded that she does much to the delight of the crowd. It is another gem of a question too from Andrea Petkovic with the former German tennis star on top form this week.
"Yes of course I do," said Kostyuk to loud cheers from the crowd who then agreed when told she has something that Rybakina doesn't.
For Kostyuk it is the conclusion of an incredible week by reaching the final. She had to play three sets against Laura Siegemund in which she had to deal with the methodical game style of the German. She also had five match points saved against Qinwen Zheng and was down and out seemingly against Coco Gauff. But has found a way. She was called the Marathon Woman on leaving the court and that is very apt.
