It wasn't meant to be for Ukraine, even though they couldn't have been closer to reaching the final of the Billie Jean King Cup 2025. Specifically, two games away, that was the distance they needed to overcome in the second point, but fate had other plans. Jasmine Paolini played the hero twice, and Marta Kostyuk endured one of the cruelest endings of the season. That's how the player from Kiev analyzed it minutes later.
"It's a very tough defeat, I feel like we've never been in the position we're in now. I really look forward to playing with this team again and trying next year. I want to make the most of this experience and see what we can do better to move forward. I think Italy is a great team, they are great champions, I hope that luck will be on our side at some point, we just have to be patient and keep working," said the Ukrainian.
