Marta Kostyuk presents herself as a top candidate for success in Roland Garros 2026 after being crowned champion in Madrid. However, her failure to advance past the first round in three of her last Grand Slams tempers her expectations. During her press conference at the French tournament, her response regarding the influence of having practiced artistic gymnastics at a high level as a child was quite interesting.

"It helped me a lot physically, but I also had to deal with many consequences later because it is an extremely strict sport. From a very young age, I had to monitor my weight and food intake a lot. I used to weigh myself twenty or thirty times a day when I was eight or ten, and that had significant mental repercussions. I also suffered a very serious injury when I was young, and all of that took me a long time to overcome. However, today I feel like I am in a much better place and I am grateful to have gone through that experience."
