The first set registered a total of eight breaks and Marta Kostyuk won only one of her serving games, but this made the difference and she close the set by 6:3 at the third set point.
The second set started equally, but in the 5th and 6th games, Varvara Gracheva was able to take a lead. She defended the lead and kept it by the very end of the set. Varvara Gracheva served for the set in the 10th game when Marta Kostyuk succeeded to break her and equalize again. This was an additional stimulus for the Ukrainian tennis player, who won her serve game and registered another break to win the set and the match.
Thus, Marta Kostyuk won her first WTA title at the WTA 250 ATX Open in Austin, USA. On the road to the final, the 20-year-old Ukrainian defeated the fourth-seeded Danielle Collins (USA), Anna-Lena Friedsam (Germany), Madison Brengle (USA), and Dalma Gálfi (Hungary).
