Marta Olehivna Kostyuk (Ukrainian: Марта Олегівна Костюк Ukrainian pronunciation: ['mɑrtɑ̝ ko'sʲtʲʊk]; born 28 June 2002) is a Ukrainian professional tennis player. She has career-high WTA rankings of world No. 16 in singles, achieved on 17 June 2024 and No. 27 in doubles, achieved on 8 May 2023. On the WTA Tour, she has won one singles title (2023 ATX Open) and two doubles titles (2022 Slovenia Open and 2023 Birmingham Classic). Her best major singles performance is reaching the quarterfinals of the 2024 Australian Open.

Early and personal life

Kostyuk is the daughter of Oleh Kostyuk and his wife, Talina Beiko. Her father was the technical director of the Antey Cup, a junior tennis tournament in Kyiv; her mother was a professional tennis player who reached a career-high WTA ranking of No. 391, and won a $10k title in her home city of Kyiv in 1994, and represented a Ukrainian tennis team. Kostyuk is the younger sister of Mariya Kostyuk, who competed for Chicago State University and Southeast Missouri State University, and a cousin of professional football players Vadym and Miro Slavov and gymnast Oksana Slavova.[2]

Kostyuk started playing tennis at a young age at the Antey Tennis Club, on the west side of Kyiv, coached by her mother. She described her initial experience in tennis at age five: "My mom was always working a lot as a coach, and the first time I went to the courts to train, I just understood that if I started doing tennis, I'd get to spend more time with my mom. So that was kind of my motivation – if I played tennis, I'd be around her more often". She was also coached by her maternal uncle Taras Beiko, who had played for the USSR and Ukraine in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[3][4][5]

In March 2023, Kostyuk announced her engagement,[6] and in November 2023, she married her fiancé Hryhoriy.[7][8]

At the Miami Open, Kostyuk won her first-round match against Elisabetta Cocciaretto but was defeated by Anastasia Potapova in the second, and once again refused to shake her opponent's hand.[30]
