This victory allowed Sachko to reach the quarterfinals of the ATP tournament for the first time in his career.

On his way to the semifinals, he will play against French tennis player Clément Tabur, who is ranked 243rd in the world ranking. It is noteworthy that he lost to Tabur in the finals of the qualification for this tournament.

Meanwhile, tennis player Elina Svitolina announced that she is suspending her participation in competitions until the end of 2025 due to psychological exhaustion related to constant matches.

Vitalii Sachko's advancement to the quarterfinals at ATP 250 in Metz is a significant event for Ukrainian tennis, especially considering that last week he made it to the main draw of the tournament only as a lucky loser. This success opens up new opportunities for the young athlete, while Elina Svitolina demonstrates the importance of mental health in sports, setting an example for many athletes regarding the necessity of rest and self-care.
