“New York is heat, noise and energy all at once,” Kostyuk said after losing to Muchova. “Playing in Flushing Meadows with the city buzzing around me reminded me how special this place really is, and leaving the US Open is never easy. I’m grateful for everyone who came, cheered and supported from near and far. Until we meet again, New York.”

With the US Open in the rearview mirror, Kostyuk is hoping to make some noise at the China Open.
Earlier this week, Kostyuk turned heads at the red carpet event for the China Open. The Ukrainian wore a red dress that grabbed everyone’s attention.
“One more look back at a special night before it’s match time,” Kostyuk wrote for her caption. “And let’s go!”
Finishing the 2025 season on a strong note.
Kostyuk certainly helped out her ranking by reaching the Round of 16 at the US Open. That being said, she’ll need to perform well in Asia if she wants to crack the top 20.

On Saturday, fans of Kostyuk will get to see her in action against Ella Seidel. She’ll be favored to advance to the next round of the China Open.
If Kostyuk builds off her success at the US Open, she might be considered a dark-horse contender to win the 2026 Australian Open in January. That being said, she has some work to do to reach that point.
