Marta Kostyuk has spoken after her crushing defeat to Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals at the 2026 French Open.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian star, who was playing in her first-ever Grand Slam semi-final, was dismantled 6-1, 6-3 by world No 8 Andreeva on Court Philippe-Chatrier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/marta-kostyuk\">Kostyuk<\/a> hit 15 winners and committed 34 unforced errors as she lost serve five times and broke her 19-year-old Russian rival just once.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old stunned four-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">Roland Garros<\/a> champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-1 in the fourth round in Paris before beating Ukrainian compatriot Elina Svitolina 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in the last eight.<\/p>\n<p>In her post-match press conference, Kostyuk was asked if she put too much pressure on herself before facing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/mirra-andreeva\">Andreeva<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, usually when I go on court, I don\u2019t feel nervous, I don\u2019t feel more pressure. Maybe before the match, obviously everyone feels more nervous,\u201d Kostyuk explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say, I don\u2019t care who\u2019s at the other side of the net, I just go out and play the match. Everything that could go her way went her way. Everything that could not go my way didn\u2019t go my way.<\/p>\n<h2>French Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/mirra-andreeva-reaction-marta-kostyuk-roland-garros-revenge-comment\"><strong>Mirra Andreeva makes \u2018revenge\u2019 comment after dismantling Marta Kostyuk at Roland Garros<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\/roland-garros-criticised-for-making-bizarre-mistake-during-mirra-andreeva-vs-marta-kostyuk\"><strong>Roland Garros criticised for making bizarre mistake during Mirra Andreeva vs Marta Kostyuk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

I take it, I had enough tough days, bad days, to know that they end. It\u2019s not the worst thing in the world to lose a match, wherever the stage is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst time playing semi-finals\u2026 obviously, I have that experience for next time I\u2019m in semi-finals. Maybe I\u2019m going to feel better, different. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, not the greatest match from me today, but I don\u2019t think about it that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kostyuk, who won her two previous matches with Andreeva in straight sets, was then asked if the Russian\u2019s level surprised her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that this court suits her best of all the tournaments that exist, and I never played her here,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing her record since she\u2019s been 15 or 16 years old playing here, I saw that her record here is 16-3. I came into this tournament being like 4-7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo clearly not my best court. It really suits her game. The wind helped a lot today. I didn\u2019t start the best, but it happens. Everyone wins, everyone loses. It\u2019s part of the game. At the end of the day, it\u2019s just a game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, she played good today. She played solid, she wasn\u2019t missing. I was missing more, obviously felt pressure. She was serving much better today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t do a lot because the court is crazy slow, and she was retrieving all the balls, so I felt like I had to go for more. Obviously that\u2019s what was making me make more mistakes. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andreeva could face fellow Russian Diana Shnaider in the championship match in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Asked how she would feel if it was an all-Russian final, Kostyuk replied: \u201cI don\u2019t care\u2026 I mean, I don\u2019t care (smiles).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/aryna-sabalenka-roland-garros-collapse-diana-shnaider-justine-henin-alize-cornet\">Aryna Sabalenka told she \u2018lacked humility\u2019 in French Open collapse by tennis great<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marta Kostyuk gives candid reaction to crushing Mirra Andreeva defeat at Roland Garros Ewan West 04 Jun 2026 6:30 PM Marta Kostyuk looks on during her match World No 15 Marta Kostyuk has spoken after her crushing defeat to Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals at the 2026 French Open.
