Marta Kostyuk is making headlines for more than just her powerful groundstrokes. The Ukrainian tennis star, who climbed to a career-high ranking of No. 11 this season, recently shared a series of vacation photos from Ibiza that left fans and fellow players utterly speechless.
In the images, Kostyuk is seen wearing a sleek black dress that perfectly captures the summer vibe. The post quickly flooded with comments, including a playful one from WTA star Eva Lys, who wrote, “Am I allowed to breathe next to you in that dress.” Other fans chimed in with reactions like “Wow you look stunning,” “Martita going insane,” and “Oh. My. God.”
While Kostyuk is enjoying her downtime before returning to the hard courts, her 2024 season has been nothing short of spectacular. She reached the semifinals at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and claimed her first WTA 1000 title at the Madrid Open. Despite still chasing her maiden Grand Slam trophy, Kostyuk is focused on savoring every step of the journey.
“I’m the most happy with the freedom that I gave myself to try different things on the court and just play tennis again,” Kostyuk said after her Wimbledon semifinal loss. “Grass was not my best surface. But I’m super happy with how I deal with the losses. It’s one thing to talk about it but once you lose, it’s how you deal with it. I want to cherish this moment and appreciate how far we’ve all come, me and my team.”
The 24-year-old has not competed since Wimbledon, but her social media presence continues to captivate the tennis world. Her Ibiza photos follow a trend of athletes sharing stylish vacation snapshots, similar to recent posts by Joy Taylor and Sydney Thomas.
Kostyuk’s dominance on clay this year seamlessly transitioned to grass, as she fought her way to the Wimbledon semifinals. Now, with the US Open on the horizon, she will return to hard courts where she has already shown her mettle. Earlier this year, she defeated three top-10 players—Mirra Andreeva, Amanda Anisimova, and Jessica Pegula—en route to the Brisbane final.
Given her recent form and relentless athleticism, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Kostyuk make a deep run at Flushing Meadows. For now, though, she’s enjoying the sun, the sea, and a well-earned break—looking every bit the star both on and off the court.
