Svitolina knocks out 4th seed Paolini

Paris, June 1 (UNI) In a display of resilience and determination, Ukraine's Elina Svitolina overcame three match points to defeat fourth seed Jasmine Paolini 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, advancing to her fifth French Open quarterfinal and 13th Grand Slam quarterfinal overall.
The match, lasting 2 hours and 24 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier, saw Svitolina rally from a set down and a 3-1 deficit in the second set. She saved two match points at 4-5 and another in the tiebreak before dominating the final set.
Reflecting on her victory, Svitolina said, "I still can't believe this match finished my way. Here I am in the next round."
Svitolina's win comes amid her ongoing efforts to support Ukraine during challenging times. She has raised over US 1 million Dollars for relief efforts since 2022, drawing inspiration from her country's resilience.
Next, Svitolina will face defending champion Iga Swiatek, who overcame Elena Rybakina in a three-set battle earlier in the day.
