Svitolina defeated in French Open quarter-final to qualify for semi-finals

Elina Svitolina’s French Open campaign came to an end in the quarter-finals after she was beaten by fellow Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in a dramatic three-set encounter on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

Svitolina started strongly, taking the opening set 6-3, but Kostyuk fought back with intensity to dominate the next two sets 6-2, 6-2 and complete the comeback victory.

The match saw shifting momentum throughout, with long baseline rallies and several key breaks of serve. While Svitolina controlled the early stages, she struggled to maintain consistency as Kostyuk raised her level in the final two sets.
