Kostyuk presents her candidate for shot of the year: 'Passing' after falling to the ground

Marta Kostyuk starred in one of the points of the year in her victory against Daria Kasatkina (3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4)) in the second round of WTA Montreal. Furthermore, she did it at a crucial moment, in the third set tiebreak. The Ukrainian ran across the court to defend against the attacks of the New Zealander and slipped and fell to the ground on one of her returns. However, Kasatkina didn't see it and sent the ball to where Kostyuk was, Kostyuk returned it the best she could and then made a subsequent cross-court passing shot that brought the center court of Montreal to its feet.
