In a surprising turn of events at the French Open, Marta Kostyuk, the 15th seed from Ukraine, eliminated former champion Iga Swiatek in a fourth-round match, winning 7-5, 6-1. The match began with both players trading breaks, but Kostyuk tightened her play in the 11th game, eventually claiming the first set with a stunning backhand crosscourt winner. This victory marked the first time Kostyuk had taken a set off Swiatek, who had previously defeated her in three straight matches. Kostyuk's performance was particularly impressive as she maintained her perfect record on clay this season, improving it to 15-0. Following this win, she is set to compete against either seventh-seeded Elina Svitolina or 11th-seeded Belinda Bencic in the next round of Roland Garros. Additionally, Romanian veteran Sorana Cirstea advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating China's Wang Xinyu 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), marking her third Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance, and her first at Roland Garros in 17 years.
