It hurts just to see it. Marta Kostyuk suffered a dramatic fall during a point in her match against Elsa Jacquemot in the first round of the Australian Open 2026. That painful ankle twist occurred as the Ukrainian was serving to stay in the match. After being attended to by the physios, the number 20 in the world returned to the court with a strong bandage to continue fighting for victory in Melbourne.

Doesn’t look good at all.
She tried to walk but immediately winced in pain… she can’t put much weight on her ankle.
Hopefully she can continue. 🇺🇦❤️🩹 pic.twitter.com/8tXXIjB1W9
