    There has been a notable change in approach from Elina Svitolina over the first hour of this match. Where she was somewhat the more passive of the two players in the opening stages, she is mixing up her shots and another drop shot helps her edge closer to levelling the match.

    Whether Svitolina wins or loses this match, I think they will be showing her the highlights and telling her this is how she needs to play.

    It was Marta Kostyuk who took the first three games in the first set, and now Elina Svitolina has taken charge of the second as she concedes just the single point on her way to a comfortable hold of serve.

    It feels like there's been a big momentum shift here as the seventh seed strides confidently to her chair.

    *Svitolina 3-6 2-0 Kostyuk

    No escape for Marta Kostyuk this time. Elina Svitolina has the breakthrough in the second set and it's game on Court Philippe Chatrier.

    You can hear the rain bouncing off the roof so it might be a while before any of the outdoor courts see some action.

    That's a huge opportunity missed by Elina Svitolina as she overhits a driving forehand when leading 0-30 on Marta Kostyuk's serve.

    Kostyuk continues to handle the big points in this match with real calm and she restores parity - but a slip at the back of the court puts her on the back foot in a rally and Svitolina will have a look at a break point here.

  8. Who will seize their opportunity?published at 12:21 BST 2 June

    When Iga Swiatek was dumped out of the French Open on Sunday, it meant there were no previous champions left in either the men's or women's singles draws heading into the second week.

    Opportunity knocks. But who will seize their chance over the next seven days in Paris?

    In the women's draw, world number one Aryna Sabalenka is the standout contender as she looks to win the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen for the first time.

    Elina Svitolina and Mirra Andreeva are the only other players remaining among the top 14 seeds.

    Just two of the top nine men's seeds remain in German Alexander Zverev and Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime.

    But young stars Flavio Cobolli, Jakub Mensik, Joao Fonseca and Rafael Jodar are among those hoping to cause a shock.

    Svitolina is trying to take as many balls out of the air as she can. She has enough respect of the movement of Kostyuk to know these balls will not be put to bed otherwise.

    Svitolina 3-6 1-0 Kostyuk*

    Elina Svitolina is having to work so hard to win some of these points because of Marta Kostyuk's athleticism, but she keeps her focus and eventually puts the point away on an important fifth point for 40-30.

    Svitolina introduces a bit of variety to help her get to safety after Kostyuk forces deuce, and that will be a huge relief as she makes a positive start to set two.

    *Svitolina 3-6 0-0 Kostyuk

    Elina Svitolina has the opportunity to move into the world's top five at Roland Garros - but she needs to reach the final to do so.

    For Marta Kostyuk, she could make her top-10 debut if she reaches the final.

  12. Game and first set - Kostyukpublished at 12:12 BST 2 June

    *Svitolina 3-6 0-0 Kostyuk

    A great mini battle in that final game to end the first set, but it is the lower-ranked Marta Kostyuk who takes it - and you have to say it's deserved.

    The 15th seed has been sharper from the start and is one set away from the first major semi-final of her career.

    Svitolina 3-5 Kostyuk*

    The energetic Marta Kostyuk is by far the quicker around the court and leaps up into an angled forehand that Elina Svitolina can't get back.

    But after that great effort, she presents Svitolina with a chance to get back into the set with a double fault for break point!

    Kostyuk saves the first with a big first serve... and then a second as Svitolina misses a forehand.

    Elina Svitolina rescues the first break point but she can't see off a second, overhitting a forehand.

    That will be very, very frustrating after she managed to get the set back on serve, and now she needs to reset quickly.

    *Svitolina 3-4 Kostyuk

    Marta Kostyuk finds herself in a tight spot for the first time at 0-30, but puts up a great defence before hammering a forehand cross-court which has too much on it for Elina Svitolina.

    The pressure is on now though! A double fault brings up two break points for Svitolina... and she takes the first!

    Svitolina 2-4 Kostyuk*

    Both players are finding their marks now, but it's Marta Kostyuk who is bringing more energy and variety.

    The 15th seed battles to a break point which would all but take the set out of Elina Svitolina's reach after outlasting her opponent in a breathless exchange - but Svitolina digs in to stay in touch.

    *Svitolina 1-4 Kostyuk

    A brilliant backhand down the line from Marta Kostyuk helps her to a couple of game points but, for a second straight service game, the improving Elina Svitolina follows her to deuce.

    Kostyuk keeps her cool once again to pick out a forehand winner, before Svitolina falters first in a baseline exchange to concede.
