Marta Kostyuk: Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine and Mirra Andreeva cruised to a first-round victory while 12th seed Elina Svitolina was knocked out in the opening round of women's singles in the US Open here on Tuesday.

No. 27 seed Kostyuk battled past Great Britain’s Katie Boulter to kick off Round 1 play on Grandstand at the 2025 US Open; the match went the way of the Ukrainian, 6-4, 6-4 in their second encounter.

Both women initially got off to a slow start in their opening service games, but managed to hold. Early on, it was evident that Kostyuk was the more aggressive player, and that mindset helped her quickly jump to a 2-1 lead.
