"I feel like it's going to be an exciting battle for Ukraine, and there will be one Ukrainian in the semis," Svitolina said. "I think it's really cool, to be fair."

Two of the form players this season, I'm expecting a close battle here. Svitolina has been remarkably consistent throughout the year with a 33-7 record and is arguably the form player in the world after storming to the Rome title with three top four scalps on the bounce. Kostyuk meanwhile has only lost four matches this entire year - and three of them were against the top two in Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, while the other came at the Australian Open where she picked up an ankle injury that kept her sidelined for a month.

Kostyuk brings a 16-match winning streak into this contest, while Svitolina has won her last 10 matches following her triumph in Rome. The most-recent meeting between the pair also went the distance, so this has all the makings of an epic encounter.

It's tough to split the pair, so Over 21.5 total games is the main play. Svitolina is reliable and has runs on the board, but she's also got scar tissue at this stage of Roland Garros, never previously winning a quarter-final. It feels like Kostyuk has been building towards a Grand Slam breakthrough for a while now and this could be her time - will back the 23-year-old to advance into a first major semi-final.

Elina Svitolina Form Analysis

2026 Record: 33-7
French Open Record: 38-14
Current Ranking: No. 7
Career-High Ranking: No. 3 (2017)

It's been a remarkably consistent season for Svitolina - she's won 33 of her 40 matches, winning the title in Auckland and Rome, finishing runner-up in Dubai and making the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Indian Wells and Stuttgart.

After an early exit in Madrid, Svitolina put together a phenomenal display in Rome, surging to the title with back-to-back-to-back victories over Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff.

Dealt a tough opening round draw at the French Open against Anna Bondar (who beat her in Madrid), Svitolina survived that challenge in a tight three-setter before convincing straight set wins over Kaitlin Quevedo and Tamara Korpatsch.

Svitolina then rallied from a set down to conquer Belinda Bencic, finishing strongly to drop a deciding-set bagel on her Swiss rival, 4-6 6-4 6-0.

Marta Kostyuk Form Analysis

2026 Record: 22-4
French Open Record: 12-7
Current Ranking: No. 15
Career-High Ranking: No. 15 (May 2026)

It's been an incredible season for Kostyuk, with three of her four defeats coming against top two players and the other when she injured her ankle.

In short, it's taken Sabalenka or Rybakina to beat Kostyuk when she's been fully fit.

The 23 year-old brings a 16-match winning streak into this contest, winning the title in Rouen and Madrid before continuing her dominant form to make a first Roland Garros quarter-final.

After moving past Oksana Selekhmeteva, Katie Volynets and Viktorija Golubic, Kostyuk registered her sixth top 10 scalp of 2026, demolishing four-time champion Iga Swiatek 7-5 6-1, breaking the Pole six times.
