Episode Details

Marta Kostyuk, a vocal Ukrainian warrior on the court, storms into her first Grand Slam semifinal at Roland Garros, set to clash with fiery Russian teen Mirra Andreeva — a showdown charged with more than just tennis, given the war back home. Kostyuk, who just edged out fellow Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in a gritty quarterfinal, carries the weight of her nation’s resilience, while Andreeva, fresh off a swift win over Sorana Cirstea, stays focused on the game. On the men’s side, Jakub Mensik shocks Brazil’s Joao Fonseca and now faces second-seeded Alexander Zverev for a shot at the title. With Kostyuk holding the edge in head-to-heads and Ukrainian players refusing to shake hands with Russian/Belarusian rivals, this semifinal isn’t just about trophies — it’s about heart, history, and hope.
