The Price of Victory: Kostyuk's Emotional Triumph in Paris Marta Kostyuk's emotional on court interview after her win over Oksana Selekhmeteva at the French Open was a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict.
As she dedicated her victory to Ukraine, the 23 year old's words were laced with the weight of a war that has been raging for too long.
Just 100 meters from Kostyuk's family home in Kyiv, Russian missiles ripped through the city, leaving four people dead and over 100 injured.
