Reigning Champion: Ashley Barty (Australia)
Tournament table: ranking • singles
Quarter finals
Elina Svitolina (Ukraine, 3) – Nadia Podoroska (Argentina, Q) 2-6, 4-6
The meeting lasted about 80 minutes. Svitolina has 5 implemented break points out of 10, 8 winners and 22 unforced errors. Podoska took 8 of 13 break opportunities, completed 30 winners with 30 unforced errors.
The world’s 131st racket Nadya Podoroska played for the first time in the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam tournament. The 23-year-old Argentine has previously played in the Major’s main draw only once. Today’s fight was her first against an opponent in the top 20 of her career. Before her performance in Paris, Podoroska had never beaten the top 50 tennis players. Nadia became the first Argentine representative since 2004 to compete in the Paris semifinals in singles.
Elina Svitolina fought for her third semi-final at the Grand Slam tournaments and her first at the French Open. Previously, of the Ukrainian players in the individual category at Roland Garros, only Andrei Medvedev reached the semi-final stage (1993 – semi-final, 1999 – final).
Nadia Podroska became the lowest rated Ukrainian rival in the Grand Slam quarterfinals. Since 2016, Elina has lost 4 matches to tennis players who are not in the top 100 of the rankings (the last one being Camila Georgie / WTA 102 in Birmingham in 2017).
Podoroska extended her tournament winning streak to 8 matches and became the first ranked tennis player to play in the Roland Garros semi-finals (top ranked in the Open Era: Alexandra Stevenson 1999 / Wimbledon and Christine Dory 1978 / Open semi-finals from Australia). Before competing in the French Major, Nadia Podroska won the ITF title on clay in France.
In the semifinals, Argentina will play match winner Martina Trevisan (WTA 159) – Iga Sviontek (WTA 53).
