If the Kerber-Zheng match in the morning had been dramatic, even more dramatic was what happened on Philippe Chatrier in the last match of the day. Donna Vekic and Marta Kostyuk were fighting for the last ticket to the semifinals of the Paris 2024 Olympics, and the menu didn’t lack anything, especially excitement. The Croatian ended up taking it (6-4, 2-6, 7-6), saving a match point and battling cramps, but it’s all worth it to become the second tennis player from her country to reach this far in an Olympic event (Ivanisevic, bronze in 1992). Tomorrow in the night session, another open duel awaits her against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.
