At the beginning of the match, everything seemed to be going as expected. After winning the first set 6:4, the favorite Paolini also got off to the better start in the second and led 4:1 after a break. At 5:4, the Italian missed two match points on Svitolina's serve. The Ukrainian fended off another match point in the tie-break before converting her first set point and making short work of the decider 6:1.
In the quarter-finals, Svitolina will face Kazakhstan's Yelena Rybakina (WTA 11) or Iga Swiatek (WTA 5). The Polish player has already won the French Open four times and is unbeaten at Roland Garros since her 2021 quarter-final defeat to Maria Sakkari.
