Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in the second round of Australian Open has beaten Australian Olivia Rogowska 6:3, 7:5 in 1 hour 29 minutes. The 15-year-old girl from Kyiv became the youngest participant of the third round of a Grand Slam in 20 years. We congratulated her on a personal success and also on the fact that today in Melbourne three Ukrainian women played at once: Elina Svitolina, who will become next challenge for Marta and Katerina Bondarenko who won against Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
