Marta Kostyuk left her soul on the court during the final of the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026, but she couldn't cope with an unapproachable Aryna Sabalenka. That's what the Ukrainian talked about in the press conference, giving clues about what it feels like to face the best on the planet. "It has been a very positive week for me; I take away all positive things. I think I will soon be in the top 10 if I keep playing like this. To beat Sabalenka, you need to be at 100%, and today I felt a great fatigue in my body, so it's impossible. It's incredible how she serves and how difficult it is to stop her tennis," she explained.
