Kostyuk reveals the reason for the appearance of underwear in her celebration
Marta Kostyuk was crowned champion of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 after defeating Mirra Andreeva in the final (6-3, 7-5). However, the trophy presentation had a curious anecdote when the Ukrainian posed with the title alongside her team, their two dogs, and a pair of men's underwear. The 23-year-old explained on Movistar + microphones, "It's a very funny story. Last year, when we sent our clothes to the tournament laundry, they returned them with these underwear that said 'Lucky Shorts'. So we kept them. Sandra displayed them last year after each match, and this year she even went to her father's house to retrieve them to bring to this tournament. And then we made a promise that if she won the tournament, she would show them," she said, laughing.
