Kostyuk 1-6, 0-3* Andreeva

The wind has definitely picked up, rippling the players’ dresses and whipping up the red clay on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

The ball noticeably catches once or twice on the first point of the game, and Andreeva nets. Maybe this disruption is what Kostyuk needs.

40-30, but a double fault from Kostyuk at a crucial juncture brings us to deuce.

On ‘pressure points’ the Ukrainian has won zero from five at 30-30 and two from 10 at deuce.

Make that three from 11 as Kostyuk takes the advantage, but it’s deuce again and she has an outburst at her box. 25 unforced errors so far, which is suboptimal.
