- Swiatek recovers to win 6-7 (5), 6-0, 6-2 and make last eight
- The world No 1 has now won 32 matches in succession
Iga Swiatek, embraced the pressure that could have easily consumed her and faced with her first major test of the French Open tournament she is so heavily favoured to win, recovered from a set down to defeat Zheng Qinwen 6-7(5), 6-0, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals.
Swiatek has extended her run to 32 successive wins, which matches Justine Henin as the third longest sequence in the 21st century. She has now reached the quarter-finals in each of the past three years at Roland Garros.
