Overview
- Mirra Andreeva defeated Marta Kostyuk 6-1, 6-3 in the Roland-Garros semifinal to secure her first Grand Slam final berth.
- The match provided Andreeva her first win over Kostyuk after two earlier losses this season and made her the youngest woman in a major final since 2022.
- Kostyuk declined the customary net handshake and photo after the match, continuing a pattern she has followed when facing Russian or Belarusian opponents since 2022.
- Kostyuk told reporters she learned during the tournament that a recent Russian missile or drone strike had damaged her family home in Kyiv and said her relatives survived.
- The result sets up a final between Andreeva and Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska and underscores how personal trauma and political protest are shaping behavior and attention at this French Open.
