Katarzyna Kawa and Marta Kostiuk did not play in the second round of the Australian Open doubles, even though they defeated their first opponents.

As a result, she left the Polish player out in the cold. “It was sad to end this tournament without the opportunity to play a match. Unfortunately, there are certain things I have no control over,” Kawa laments on social media. She had hopes pinned on the doubles competition, in which she partnered with Kostiuk.

They confidently won their first match against German Tatjana Maria and Dutch Arantxa Rus with a score of 6-0, 6-2. In the next match, they were supposed to face Tamara Korpatsch and Elixane Lechemia. However, that did not happen. The match was forfeited. “I have no control over it.”
“Farewell to Australia. It was sad to end this tournament without the opportunity to play a match. Unfortunately, there are certain things I have no control over. In good health and readiness, I move forward on tour,” Katarzyna Kawa shared in a post on X platform (Twitter). It appears that it was Kostiuk’s decision, as she was performing well in singles. The Ukrainian player wanted to focus on achieving the highest goals in her solo performance. However, this decision ended Kawa’s participation in the Australian Open. The 21-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam tournament, defeating Elise Mertens and Maria TImofeyeva, among others. She was only eliminated after a three-set battle with Coco Gauff. *Thank you for reading our article to the end.* *Stay updated!* *Follow us on Google News.*
