Summary
Marta Kostyuk storms into her first Grand Slam semifinal after a gutsy win over fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina at the French Open, channeling emotion from a “difficult night” back home amid ongoing Russian attacks. She dedicated the victory to the Ukrainian people, speaking candidly about the war’s toll — especially after recent bombings in Kyiv. Kostyuk also called out the silence of some Russian athletes, urging them to find ways to speak out — citing examples of athletes who’ve taken stands or even changed allegiances. Facing Russian teen Mirra Andreeva in the next round, Kostyuk remains focused, determined to keep her clay-court momentum alive and chase a final berth — all while carrying the weight of her homeland’s struggle.
