In the on-court interview after the match, Yastremska was questioned concerning her mother, Marina Yastremska. She replied: “Oh, my mother. She knows everything that I think. I think we need to get some more time to go shopping. When I look at her, I know what I have to do: move my legs hard. I have a tattoo here that says, ‘Mother Beauty.’ Sometimes I look, and it reminds me I have to fight till the end.”
