Ukrainian Elina Svitolina lost a huge advantage over Simone Halep and left the French Open. For the match against Halep Elina came out with an untreated injury - a sick back made itself felt in the interval between matches, and, as the Ukrainian sponsor Yuri Sapronov reported, in the quarterfinals the Ukrainian was supposed to play "on pricks". To great happiness, at the beginning of the fight, Elina forced everyone to forget about it. Perfect game, great attacks and shocking for Halep 5: 0 at the beginning of the match. Having changed the rhythm of the game somewhat, Romanian pushed Elina to the defense and managed to break. And was even close to bringing back the second lost serve. Svitolina did not plan to give up - two excellent feeds, another manifestation of an incredible nature, a smart forehand trailer and a realized set-ball! Bravo! Despite the fact that at the end of the starting party it might seem that Halep began to play more boldly, more actively and better, already at the start of the second set Elina again issued a break! Having secured its advantage taken by its own serve, the Ukrainian woman began to finish off the feared opponent. Halep tried to break / crush the racket, screaming, asked her mentor, but from that in the game plan she could not do it.

Elina continued to attack, only now the Romanian heroically heroically pulled out every ball, forcing the Ukrainian to be mistaken time after time. Simone won 5 games in a row and had a triple set-ball, but Elina again included the "heroine" mode and transferred the set to a tie-break. Already there Svitolina incredibly unlucky - when the score was 6:

7, the Ukrainian led the draw, but the strike of Khalep trampled over the grid, putting a dot in the net. Alas, put this blow point and in the match.
