October's TPN Tour Portrait focuses on Marta Kostyuk, a feisty 22 year old, who reached 16 in the world this year with wins over world number 3 Jessica Pegula in San Diego on hard courts, then over Olympic Gold Medalist Zheng Quinwen, Coco Gauff, and Marketa Vondrousova, her third top-10 win in three days on Stuttgart's clay.
Please click to see her photos on TPN at this link.
TPN readers might want to take a look at her backhand, which is a key to her ability to stand in and go toe to toe with heavy hitters like Zheng, Coco and, in the match I shot Iga. She can take topspin balls early and/or high.
