Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk won “one of the most difficult matches” in her career as she advanced at the French Open hours after a missile strike narrowly missed her parents’ home.

Russia launched a wave of strikes overnight, killing four people in Kostyuk’s native Kyiv and injuring at least 83 people across Ukraine.

The 15th seed gave an emotional on-court interview after she won her opening-round match at Roland-Garros, beating Russian-born Oksana Selekhmeteva, who now represents Spain, 6-2 6-3.

Kostyuk teared up and was warmly applauded by the crowd on Court Simonne-Mathieu as she said: “This morning, 100 metres away from my parent's house, a missile destroyed the building.”

The Briton is the undercard this afternoon, but it’s a close one, the pair have never played each other before...

Emma Raducanu 11/8

Solana Sierra 4/7

So Raducanu is going to have to wait a little longer, that’s because Thiago Agustin Tirante dropped the third set to Pablo Llamas Ruiz.

But the Argentine is up a break in the fourth, so that match should be done relatively soon, then it’ll be a waiting game for Raducanu, with Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Nuno Borges the last match before her first round contest.

The British number one takes on Argentina’s Solana Sierra in the first round on Sunday in what will be just her second match since March following two-and-a-half months out with a post-viral illness.

“I feel a lot better,” she said. “I thought I’d completely flipped it. I think there’s just been a little bit of a lingering cough recently. But I feel health-wise really good.

“I played a really positive match last week in Strasbourg in the sense it was over two hours, and I think physically I pulled up really well from it. So I’m happy to take that and build from it.”

Jannik Sinner will begin his pursuit of a first French Open title, and a career grand slam, against French wildcard Clement Tabur in the first round of the men’s competition at Roland Garros.

Sinner is being heavily backed to win the tournament following his recent triumph at the Italian Open and the withdrawal of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Sinner in the 2025 final but withdrew from this year’s tournament with a wrist injury.

Should Sinner make it into the second round he could face Great Britain’s Jacob Fearnley though the 24-year-old has a difficult opening match against Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo who sits 68 places above him in the world rankings.

Full draw here:

Emma Raducanu begins her campaign against clay-court specialist Solana Sierra of Argentina on Court 13 later this afternoon.

But when will she be on court? That’s a tricky one to answer as she’s on third, after two men’s matches.

First up is Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Pablo Llamas Ruiz, and the Argentine Tirante is 2-0 up in sets, so that could be finishing in the next 10 minutes, or it might take another hour.

Then it’s 23rd seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Nuno Borges... That might take another two to three hours.

So Raducanu is likely to be on no earlier than 3:30pm BST...
