Marta Kostyuk was unsuccessful in recent tournaments. Her only highlight is the semi-final of competition at Granby. She got eliminated in the second round of US Open by Victoria Azarenka (2:6, 3:6). At the start of Portoroz tournament Kostyuk suffered a narrow defeat to Ekaterina Alexandrova (6:7, 7:5, 5:7). 

Since the start of the year Kostyuk has won 17 matches of 27. She is still unable to break into the Top-50 of WTA rankings. Marta is currently at 56th position in the standings. 

Bernarda Pera put up a brilliant performance in summer tournaments. American player won titles at Budapest and Hamburg. She also reached the final at Concord and the semi-final at Cleveland. However, she failed to achieve success in US Open, losing the first round match to Anhelina Kalinina (4:6, 4:6). 

After a defeat in New York, Pera took a long pause. She got a tricky opponent for the start of Tallinn tournament. Pera suffered three defeats to Kostyuk in head-to-head matches. American player failed to win a single set on any surface.
