Svitolina vs Kostyuk Head-to-Head Record
Svitolina and Kostyuk have met twice on the WTA Tour, with their head-to-head record evenly split at 1-1. The former came out on top in their first meeting at the 2026 Australian Open, while the latter emerged victorious in three sets at the 2024 Canadian Open.
Both players are in excellent form at the moment, with Kostyuk currently on a 15-match winning streak. She hasn’t lost a match on clay this year, winning titles in Madrid and Rouen.
Kostyuk defeated four-time French Open champion Świątek in straight sets in the last round and will enter this match full of confidence. She has been dominant on her serve so far at Roland Garros, while also creating break-point opportunities at will.
Svitolina has been one of the most consistent players this year and holds a 32-7 win-loss record for 2026 going into this match. The world No. 7 won the Italian Open on the back of impressive wins over Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, and Świątek.
The 31-year-old came from behind to defeat Bencic in the last round. She has largely been in control during her Roland Garros campaign, with longtime nemesis Anna Bondár providing her with her toughest assignment so far.
Svitolina vs Kostyuk Prediction and Pick
This quarterfinal looks evenly poised, with not much to separate these two players at the moment. Svitolina has more experience at the highest level and is looking to reach her fifth Grand Slam semifinal.
Kostyuk, on the other hand, will be eyeing her first-ever semifinal appearance at a Major. She will look to ride the momentum of her impressive unbeaten run and dictate proceedings with her aggressive approach against her defensively strong opponent.
Svitolina is one of the best counter-punchers on the WTA Tour and is playing some of the best tennis of her career at the moment. She defeated three of the top 4 players in the WTA Rankings in Rome and has followed that up with a strong start at Roland Garros.
