Summary
Marta Kostyuk just shattered history at Roland Garros, becoming the first Ukrainian woman in the Open Era to reach the semifinals — and she did it by defeating fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in a gritty three-set battle. With her 17-match clay court winning streak intact, Kostyuk dedicated this emotional triumph to Ukraine’s resilience amid ongoing conflict, honoring her nation’s strength while praising Svitolina’s legacy in Ukrainian tennis. Both players have been dominant on clay this season — Kostyuk with titles in Rouen and Madrid, Svitolina in Rome — showcasing Ukraine’s rising tennis power. Remarkably, Kostyuk played through the trauma of learning a missile struck near her family’s home in Kyiv, pushing forward to achieve her best Grand Slam result yet. Now, she faces Mirra Andreeva in the semis — a rematch of their Madrid final — with Andreeva also delivering a commanding quarterfinal win.
