The reactions from fellow WTA stars were swift and enthusiastic. Anisimova responded with a pair of fire emojis and “Insane.”

Canadian star Andreescu also used heart-eye emojis and commented “WHATTT” to convey her admiration. British player Katie Boulter added, “Woahh,” accompanied by three fire emojis, while Australian Daria Saville shared a humorous reaction GIF.
What Did Kostyuk Say About Her 2025 Season and Off-Court Life?
In an interview accompanying the shoot, she reflected on her 2025 season, noting, “To be honest, in my entire career, I have never felt so fresh at the end of the season.”
“I’ve always worked until I was exhausted. But now I’ve realized that it won’t work that way. Our [tennis players] careers are quite short, so you need to live it with excitement, enjoy it, and not suffer and wait for it to end. I like how I’m playing now, what mood I’m in and how I enjoy my work,” she added.
Kostyuk recently concluded a challenging Asian swing on the WTA Tour, playing back-to-back WTA 1000 events like the China Open and Wuhan Open. The 23rd seed defeated Ella Seidel and Aliaksandra Sasnovich to reach the Round of 16 before falling in three sets to fifth seed Jessica Pegula.
At the Wuhan Open, she was ousted in three sets in her opening match by 12th seed KarolÃna Muchová. She also participated in doubles with partner Olga Danilović. However, the Ukrainian-Serbian duo lost to sixth seeds Alexandra Panova and Guo Hanyu in the first round.
