Kostyuk hits one of the most surreal 'aces' in tennis history
Not even she herself knew exactly how she did it. During her third-round match at the 2025 Mutua Madrid Open, Ukrainian player Marta Kostyuk, ranked 36th in the world, served in a way that was simply inexplicable, resulting in an 'ace' against Veronika Kudermetova, who could do nothing but watch the ball bounce twice in the service box. Marta hit the ball awkwardly, yet it had a perfect spin, requiring no further action in the point. In disbelief, and after a quick glance at the chair umpire to confirm, Kostyuk immediately apologized to her opponent.
