Roland-Garros: Swiatek wins in pain

And 32 for Iga Swiatek! The world number 1 won a 32nd consecutive success on the circuit on Monday, during the round of 16 at Roland-Garros. But this was not the easiest to obtain for the Pole who needed three rounds to get rid of the young Qinwen Zheng (19 years old). For her first Roland-Garros, the Chinese almost created a sensation by winning the first set in the decisive game (6-7), before physically suffering from the right thigh. It was enough for Swiatek to reverse the situation, return to one set everywhere (6-0) before making the difference in the last act (6-2). In the next round she will face the American Jessica Pegula.
