Marta Kostyuk bests Mirra Andreeva in Madrid for back-to-back titles
Aug 2, 2025; Montreal, QC, Canada; Marta Kostyuk (UKR) reacts after winning a point against Mccartney Kessler (USA) in fourth round play at IGA Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images Marta Kostyuk won her second consecutive clay court tournament and her first WTA 1000 event with a 6-3, 7-5 upset over ninth-seeded Mirra Andreeva at the Madrid Open on Saturday afternoon.
No. 26 Kostyuk, who hails from Ukraine, won the Rouen Open in France on April 19 and will rise to a career-high No. 15 in the WTA rankings.
Andreeva could not capture her third title of the season, with prior wins in Adelaide and Linz. The Russian, who just turned 19, became the youngest player to reach three WTA finals since the format’s inception in 2009.
Kostyuk broke her opponent in the sixth game of the first set and served at 5-3. After falling behind, 15-40, she used a magnificent backhand-slice volley to earn a set point and won the set on her next attempt.
The second set was topsy-turvy, with five service breaks. Andreeva bolted out to 3-1 lead via two breaks, but Kostyuk won eight consecutive points to get back on serve. Leading 5-4, the teenager earned two set points, but Kostyuk blasted home back-to-back aces to erase the second one and then leveled the set.
The often-emotional Kostyuk then broke for the 34th time in the tournament and won the title in 81 minutes on her third match point.
“I want to thank all my opponents that I played this week,” said Kostyuk on court after the match. “Girls pushed me to the limit. One of the most unbelievable matches for me these weeks… very special two weeks here.
“If you look at the stats up until last year, I think I was like 2-7 in Madrid. I never thought I’d be able to lift the title here. It was not my favorite tournament for sure but thank you to the crowd. It was unbelievable this week. You were supporting me so much every day. It wouldn’t be possible without you.”
Kostyuk has won 11 consecutive matches on clay this season and became the second Ukrainian woman to win a WTA 1000 title. Elina Svitolina has captured four, but her last championship occurred in 2018.
Kostyuk is now 2-0 against Andreeva all-time, with a previous 2026 victory on the hard courts in the quarterfinals at Brisbane. She saved all four break points against her in the Madrid finals, using a dominant inside-out forehand for several of her winners.
“It feels unbelievable to stand here right now,” said Kostyuk. “It took me many years to reach this point. One word I think about right now is consistency. It’s showing up every day, no matter how hard it is.”

Orioles set to call up RHP Trey Gibson for MLB debut
May 5, 2024; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; The Baltimore Orioles logo on the sleeve of designated hitter Gunnar Henderson (2) as he prepares on deck during the seventh inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Baltimore Orioles will have right-hander Trey Gibson make his major league debut Sunday in a start against the New York Yankees, manager Craig Albernaz confirmed Saturday.
The Orioles have a rotation vacancy after left-hander Trevor Rogers went on the injured list this week with an illness. Baltimore also has righty Dean Kremer (quad) on the IL, while fellow right-hander Zach Eflin (Tommy John surgery for his right elbow) is out for the season.
Gibson’s first opportunity to pitch in the major leagues comes after the 23-year-old spent four seasons in the minors. He is 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season.
Gibson went undrafted after two seasons at Liberty and signed with the Orioles in 2023. He is the club’s No. 3 overall top prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.
