Elina Svitolina saved three match points and eliminated 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1 to earn her fifth French Open quarterfinal appearance.

Jasmine Paolini didn't hide her disappointment after losing to Elina Svitolina in a brutal way and even admitted that she probably could have done more on some of her match points. The Italian tennis star, who was seeded at No. 4, was 6-4 5-3 up and appeared to be heading toward registering a straight-set win in the French Open round-of-16.

A determined Elina Svitolina battled from the brink of defeat to overcome last year's runner-up Jasmine Paolini 4-6 7-6(6) 6-1 and reach the French Open quarter-finals after a thoroughly entertaining battle on Sunday.
