The match lasted just 59 minutes and ended with a score of 6:1, 6:1.
From the very first point, Kostyuk took control of the game and looked unusually confident on her serve and during crucial points. This immediately highlighted the class difference between the players.

Throughout the match, Kostyuk served 4 aces, committed no double faults, and made 5 breaks. Her opponent did not serve any aces, made 6 faults on serve, and did not achieve any breaks.
