"Where did I post pictures from? Iceland? I don't think that was me": Another press conference gaffe as Kostyuk victim of mistaken identity
WTAFriday, 07 July 2023 at 09:30
Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk has revealed that she has not posted any pictures while on vacation before Wimbledon.
The 21-year-old was asked by a reporter about her pictures in Iceland during a post-match conference after defeating Greece’s Maria Sakkari in the first round of the mega-event with a score of 0-6, 7-5, 6-2 on Wednesday.
While responding to that question, the 21-year-old stated that she has not posted any pictures from any vacation in the last couple of months as she was preparing for Wimbledon.

"Where did I post pictures from? Iceland? I don't think that was me. No. No. I don't remember, especially in the past couple of months, I probably didn't,” she said.
The statement makes a lot of sense as the world number 28 remained involved in professional tennis, especially after suffering an opening round exit from the French Open after losing to Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 3-6, 2-6.
The Kiev-born was involved in the Rothesay Classic in Birmingham where she participated in both singles and doubles events.

While the singles event was a big disappointment as she lost the opening round fixture against Anastasia Potapova with a score of 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, her doubles outing with Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejcikova was a successful one as the duo ended up winning the title after beating the pair of Australia’s Storm Hunter and Alycia Parks in the final with a score of 6-2, 7-6.
Kostyuk will now face Spain’s Paula Badosa in the second round of the third Grand Slam of the year on Friday.
