Marta Kostyuk finished her third-round victory at the Miami Open with an unforgettable shot, perfectly blending finesse, daring, and impeccable timing.
Speaking of timing, it`s worth noting this incredible serve occurred on match point!
Leading 6-2, 5-1 against Anna Blinkova, World No. 29 Kostyuk noticed her opponent positioned far behind the baseline. Seizing the moment, she executed a surprise underarm serve. Blinkova was caught off guard and didn`t even move as the ball landed untouched for an ace.
Throughout the second set, Kostyuk showcased dominant serving and maintained control of the match.
This underarm ace was the perfect `mic drop` moment, capping off one of her most dominant performances this season.
Despite this victory, Kostyuk was defeated by Jessica Pegula in her subsequent match.
