Unforced errors in Wednesday's #RolandGarros women's QF:

15 - Chwalinska
26 - Shnaider
47 - Kalinskaya
57 - Sabalenka

[Matt Trollope @MattyAT]

Marta Kostyuk v Elina Svitolina

- Ukraine v Ukraine
- WTA 1000 Madrid champ v WTA 1000 Rome champ
- 16-match win streak v 10-match win-streak
- 1st #RolandGarros SF on the line for both

[Matt Trollope @MattyAT]

Marta Kostyuk extends her winning streak to 15 matches.

Previous best win streak was 7, in early 2020, the bulk of which came on the ITF circuit.

Longest tour-level win streak previously came at Austin in 2023, when she won 5 straight to win the title.

WILDCARD WALTON WITH THE BIGGEST WIN OF HIS CAREER! 🤩

#GoAussies

[Matt Trollope @MattyAT]

In the past 10 years, only three men have won #RolandGarros:

Nadal (5) - 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022
Djokovic (3) - 2016, 2021, 2023
Alcaraz (2) - 2024, 2025

[Matt Trollope @MattyAT]

Sabalenka - #1, most consistent at majors
Rybakina - most recent Slam champ
Swiatek - greatest claycourter
Gauff - reigning champ
Andreeva - most 2026 points on clay
Svitolina - Rome champ
Kostyuk - 12-match win streak, 2 clay titles

Women's #RolandGarros so hard to pick!

Roland Garros 2026 - ?

[Vansh @vanshv2k]

2 things in women’s tennis that feel cursed this decade and never happen for some reason, even though we have come close a few times

1.) A matchup between Coco Gauff & Elena Rybakina (still waiting since 2022 Toronto)

2.) A Grand Slam Final between Iga Swiatek & Aryna Sabalenka

[#AusOpen @AustralianOpen]

Hear about Mary Carillo winning the 1977 Roland Garros mixed doubles title with John McEnroe, from the master storyteller herself 😍

With their 2026 Indian Wells match their first meeting in almost eight years, Sabalenka and Osaka could face off again just weeks later in Madrid.

Both are into to 3R, and if Sabalenka beats Cristian and Osaka overcomes qualifier Kalinina, they'll clash in 4R.
