    Kostyuk Extends Winning Streak In Madrid, Enters Second Career WTA 1000 Semi-final

    By IANS News April 30, 2026 • 10:02 AM View: 148
    Billie Jean King Cup: Marta Kostyuk extended the best stretch of her career and stormed into her second career WTA 1000 semi-final and first in the Spanish capital with a 7-6(1), 6-0 performance against Czech 13th seed Linda Noskova on Wednesday.

    The Ukrainian will next face lucky loser Anastasia Potapova for a spot in her first WTA 1000 final. Kostyuk is 2-2 against Potapova at the WTA Tour level, but she has won their last two meetings in straight sets, including their most recent encounter last year in Madrid. Mirra Andreeva and Hailey Baptiste will meet in the other semifinal.

    The first set featured a combined eight breaks of serve – four from each player – and saw both players struggle on serve in cooler temperatures on Manolo Santana Stadium. But Kostyuk caught fire in the breaker and never looked back from then on, sweeping the second set in commanding fashion.
