Elina Svitolina vs Marta Kostyuk Preview & Tips
Elina Svitolina continues to impress at the French Open, with four successive victories seeing her dream of winning a Slam in 2026 kept alive.
Marta Kostyuk achieved arguably the performance of the women's tournament so far as she eliminated Iga Swiatek in a stunning 7-5 6-1 win in the last round.

Head To Head
The pair have met twice before, with both winning one match apiece.
Elina Svitolina Form
Elina Svitolina is chasing a first ever Grand Slam crown, with the 31-year-old likely targeting a French Open that has seen a range of major exits as the perfect competition to win.
In 2026, Svitolina has won 33 of her 40 outings, with her 15 matches on clay resulting in 13 triumphs. Across half a year of tennis, Svitolina has been excellent, but winning Grand Slams has been something that has evaded her, with her career yet to end with one of the four big trophies.
Svitolina has continually shown herself to be a worthy opponent across competitions, but I predict that she is outmatched in this one. Kostyuk has been outstanding in 2026, and I believe that Svitolina will slip to a heart-breaking 2-1 loss as her wait for a Slam goes on.
Marta Kostyuk Form
Marta Kostyuk is quickly establishing herself as a real force in the women's game, with the 23-year-old storming to 22 wins in 26 matches in 2026.
Kostyuk's run at the French Open has been supreme, only dropping a set in her second round clash against Katie Volynets. Her fourth round match was her standout performance as she completely outplayed Iga Swiatek 7-5 6-1.
This win was a statement that will have all other competitors taking note. Kostyuk is not simply there to make up the numbers, and the youngster is my pick to secure a battling 2-1 win over her in-form opponent.
Verdict
I am backing Kostyuk's sublime run at the French Open to continue as she edges to a 2-1 win.
Kostyuk 2-1
