French Open 2023 results: Elina Svitolina & Aryna Sablenka reach quarter-finals

Ukraine's Elina Svitolina says she "feels 17 again" after reaching the French Open quarter-finals in her first Grand Slam since becoming a mother.

The former world number three beat Russian ninth seed Daria Kasatkina 6-4 7-6 (7-5) to reach the last eight.

"I don't have the pressure I used to have," Svitolina, a Wimbledon and US Open semi-finalist in 2019, said.

She will play second seed Aryna Sablenka after the Belarussian beat American Sloane Stephens.

Australian Open champion Sabalenka again opted out of an open news conference after beating Stephens 7-6 (7-5) 6-4.
