Roland Garros 2023: Svitolina returns to French Open quarterfinals by downing Kasatkina

The Hindu  

A charged-up Elina Svitolina powered into the French Open quarterfinals for the fourth time with a 6-4 7-6 victory over Russian ninth seed Daria Kasatkina on Sunday as she kept alive hopes of winning a maiden Grand Slam title. I hope I can push even further, I’m really motivated for the next few matches.” In the quarterfinals, Svitolina will take on world number two Aryna Sabalenka or 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens who meet in the night session later. Svitolina, who is married to French player Gael Monfils and enjoys huge support among local fans, roared back from 2-0 down in the second set with both players struggling to hold serve and got her nose in front with some heavy hitting late on. “I can see what Gael has been experiencing all these years and I’m thankful to the French people for their support.” With popular Russian singer Zemfira - an opponent of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine - watching from Kasatkina’s box, Svitolina squandered a match point and got pulled into a tiebreak where the pressure mounted.
