Britain’s Heather Watson was defeated in the last 16 of the Korea Open, live on Sky Sports Tennis, as fifth seed Marta Kostyuk made short work of eliminating the Brit, winning 6-2 6-2.
The Ukrainian, who is ranked 18th in the world, controlled proceedings throughout with her powerful serving and Watson could only manage to win four games in a match which lasted one hour and 15 minutes.
The 32-year-old has been striving to regain her form, having been outside the top 100 of the world rankings for over two-and-a-half years, and Kostyuk smashed nine aces as she made her way into her seventh WTA quarter-final of the season.
