Marta Kostyuk, aged 23, achieved a historic milestone at the French Open, becoming the first Ukrainian woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final by defeating fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. Kostyuk's victory came amidst news of a significant aerial strike on Ukraine that killed at least 18 people, prompting her to dedicate the match to the resilience of the Ukrainian people. The match itself concluded with Kostyuk winning 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 after winning the final four games. This win extends Kostyuk's impressive 17-match winning streak on clay this season. She is set to face Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals.
