Kostyuk-Golubic Opener Expected to Go Deep in Paris

Marta Kostyuk and Viktorija Golubic are preparing for a closely contested start to their Roland Garros meeting, with the first set widely expected to extend beyond a quick finish when they take the court in Paris.

The matchup brings together Kostyuk’s aggressive baseline game and Golubic’s variety and shot-making, a contrast that could produce early momentum shifts and service breaks. With both players capable of stretching rallies and forcing adjustments, the opening set is likely to reach at least nine games before a winner is decided.

Official Grand Slam scoring will determine the final outcome, with any tiebreak counting as one game in the set total.
