Ukrainian pride will once again be on the line when Marta Kostyuk faces Russia’s Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals of a wide-open women’s draw at Roland Garros on Thursday.
After world number one Aryna Sabalenka crashed out in the quarter-finals, Andreeva, the eighth seed, is now the highest-ranked player left in the tournament.
The other semi-final will be contested by Andreeva’s Russian compatriot Diana Shnaider and Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska.
