Marta Kostyuk stunned four-time Roland-Garros champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 6-1 to reach the quarterfinals. Her victory extended an unbeaten streak on clay to 16 matches, the first player to hit that mark since Justine Henin in 2005. In the men's draw, 19-year-old Rafael Jódar reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal after a five-set win. Swiatek's exit opens the women's draw and positions Kostyuk as a leading clay-court contender, while Jódar's run marks a major breakthrough for a young player in Paris.
