Elina Svitolina showcased her remarkable form as she eliminated defending semifinalist and World No. 9 Daria Kasatkina in a straight-set victory of 6-4, 7-6(5) in the fourth round of the claycourt Major.

Notably, this triumph marked Svitolina's first Top-10 win since her return from maternity leave, adding another significant milestone to her journey.

With her latest victory over Russia's Kasatkina, Svitolina extended her winning streak to an impressive eight matches. The Ukrainian player's stellar performance has propelled her to the quarterfinals of the French Open, marking her fourth appearance in the final-eight stage of the tournament. She has achieved two semifinal berths and six quarterfinal finishes in Grand Slam events but is still in pursuit of her maiden Major title.

Expressing her ambitions, Svitolina acknowledged the pressure she places on herself in the pursuit of her ultimate goal — a Grand Slam victory. During her recent press conference, the 28-year-old stated:

"Of course, me personally, I put pressure on myself because I want to win a slam. This is the ultimate goal for me."

Despite her aspirations, Svitolina emphasized the importance of focusing on the present and taking things one day at a time as she navigates the challenging tournament.

"[I'm] trying to be focused as well with match by match, taking it one at a time," she said.
