Marta Kostyuk is set to enter the WTA Top 10 rankings for the first time, despite being eliminated in the round of 16 at the US Open by Linda Noskova.

Her ascent into the top tier is aided by Amanda Anisimova’s early departure from the tournament in the third round, following Anisimova’s run as a finalist the previous year.

Once official on Monday, Kostyuk’s new ranking will make her the second Ukrainian woman in history to reach the Top 10, following Elina Svitolina. With Svitolina also maintaining her position among the world’s ten best players, the upcoming rankings will feature two Ukrainian women simultaneously in the Top 10.
