Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk paired with Georgian Oksana Kalashnikova won the final of the WTA 125 tournament in France.

In the final match, they beat the British couple Alicia Barnett/Olivia Nicholls 7:5, 6:1.

The match lasted 1 hour 9 minutes. Marta and Oksana never filed right through, made 4 double faults and converted 6/7 break points.

Note that this trophy was the second for Kostyuk this season.. In September, Marta, together with Teresa Martyntseva, took the title in Portoroz.



Marta Kostyuk is known for her patriotic stance, and after the start of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, she does not shake hands with representatives of Belarus after matches. At the US Open-2022 and the tournament in Mexico, she ignored the handshake with Victoria Azarenka and Alexandra Sasnovich.
