Kostyuk is undefeated on clay this season
This season has been remarkable for Kostyuk, despite a rocky start. The Ukrainian reached the final in Brisbane, but then suffered an injury in the first round of the Australian Open, sidelining her for a month and a half.
She made a full recovery just in time for the clay court swing, and hasn’t lost a single match on this surface—claiming titles in Rouen and Madrid, and now reaching the Roland Garros semifinals. Kostyuk’s matches have been a joy to watch, showcasing her intelligence, composure, and fluid movement on court.
At Roland Garros, she defeated Spain’s Selekhmeteva 6-2, 6-3, then battled through a tough match against American Volynets—6-7, 6-3, 6-3. In the third round, Marta dispatched Swiss veteran Golubic 6-4, 6-3. Her victory over world number three Iga Swiatek was a true sensation—7-5, 6-1. In the quarterfinals, Kostyuk overcame fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina 6-3, 2-6, 6-2.
Currently ranked 15th in the world, a place in the final would propel Kostyuk into the top 10. This is her first-ever Grand Slam semifinal appearance.
Andreeva’s second shot at a major final
High expectations surrounded Andreeva this year. She clinched titles in Adelaide and Linz, and also made the final in Madrid. The Russian sits eighth in the world rankings. This marks her second Roland Garros semifinal, having fallen at this stage two years ago.
The 19-year-old has dropped only one set here. She dispatched Frenchwoman Ferro 6-3, 6-3, then overcame Spain’s Bassols 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. She handled Czech Bouzkova 6-4, 6-2, and had no trouble against Switzerland’s Teichmann—6-3, 6-2. Surprisingly, she breezed past experienced Romanian Cirstea 6-0, 6-3.
Head-to-head
The two players have met twice before, both times this year. Their first encounter was in Brisbane, where Kostyuk won 7-6, 6-3. The second, far more significant, was the Madrid final—again, the Ukrainian prevailed 6-3, 7-5.
Prediction
Although the Russian claims she doesn’t care who stands across the net, insisting she plays against the ball, the psychological edge is clearly with Kostyuk. Neither player has ever reached a Grand Slam final before, so nerves are bound to play a role. On paper, the Ukrainian is a slight favorite—and I agree. Marta is on fire right now, so I’m picking her for a straight-up win.
