Russia’s Mirra Andreeva defeats Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in their French Open semifinal, reaching the women’s final. Multiple reports describe a tense atmosphere before the match, with the two players positioned separately for pre-match formalities. Instead of exchanging the usual post-match gestures, the match features no handshake and no photo. The outlets note that the pre-game scene includes each player standing next to two children on their respective sides of the net for separate photos, rather than shared or combined imagery. After the semifinal, Andreeva advances to the final while Kostyuk is eliminated. The reports emphasize the absence of the standard sportsmanship handshake and the lack of a photo moment, highlighting the strained interaction between the players during this high-profile Grand Slam match. The outcome is the key competitive result, with Andreeva securing the victory needed to progress to the final.
