Overview
- Mirra Andreeva defeated Marta Kostyuk 6-1, 6-3 on Friday to reach her first Grand Slam final and will play Maja Chwalinska for the title.
- Kostyuk's loss halted a 17-match winning streak on clay that included titles in Madrid and Rouen and pushed her to a career-high projected ranking of world No. 12.
- Kostyuk posted a long Instagram message after the match expressing disappointment and gratitude for her growth, and she declined the customary handshake with Andreeva, a gesture noted in Russia–Ukraine matchups.
- Broadcasters singled out Kostyuk's tactics and serve as problems in the match, saying she repeatedly targeted Andreeva's backhand and failed to hold serve, which allowed multiple breaks.
- Kostyuk is entered at the Queen's Club Championships next week as she switches quickly to grass, while the open Roland Garros draw has guaranteed first-time major champions in the event's singles this year.
