Kostyuk breaks through in Madrid for first WTA 1000 title

For the first time, Marta Kostyuk is a WTA 1000 champion. The 23-year-old from Ukraine defeated Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 7-5 in 1 hour and 21 minutes on Saturday to win the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open for the third title of her career and her first above the 250 level.

The victory capped a dominant week in Spain for Kostyuk, who entered as the No. 26 seed, but defeated the likes of Jessica Pegula, Linda Noskova and Andreeva en route to the title. It gives her back-to-back titles at the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz level for the first time, following her triumph in Rouen a few weeks ago.
