PARIS: Iga Sovytk kept his bid alive for the fourth consecutive French Open title when he fought a set on Sunday and Breakdown on Sunday, a seat and a breakdown to defeat the man’s champion Carlos Alcaraz’s last 1616 deal against Ben Shelton.
Four times, Roland Gerros Champion, who is struggling for his best form and has not reached any final since winning the title last year, was suffering from severe problems when he was 2-0 in the second set. But the 24-year-old dug deep to win 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Sweetic aims to become the first woman to win the crown of four straight Roland Garros since Sussein Langen 102 years ago. The pole will face Elena Switolina of Ukraine, who knocked 2024 to lose finalist Jasmine Paulini in the last eight on Tuesday.
Swetack is now on a series of 25-match wins at the French Open and has a significant record of the loss of 39-2 in the tournament. Rabakina won both of his former career meetings with a soil and Kazakh dominated the opening set, which hampered his opponent with 12 winners in the past.
Sweettic said, “Well, it was difficult. You know, the first set I felt as if I was playing against Janak Gainer.” “I needed to do something to get back to the game, but with his game I didn’t feel like I hope more.”
In the first game of the second set, Rebekina was broken when she threatened to run away from the match. But Swetack turned the seat impressively with a five -straight game race. The fifth seed eventually occupied a total control with a break to gain a 4-3 lead in the decisive set, just to back it straight.
Sweet was a game with a 5-4 defeat, but she managed to end Rabakina’s resistance and held her nerves to advance the match. Switolina returned to the quarter-finals for the fifth time, with 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), winning 6-1 against last year’s runner-up pollen, which saved three match points in the dramatic opening match on the court Philip Chatter.
Former World No.3, which has never finished the Grand Slam, when they face Sweet, they will first bid to reach Roland Gerros to reach the semi -finals. Switolina said, “I still can’t believe that this match ended my way.”
“It was a really difficult match today, Jasmine was really playing well. It was really difficult for me but I am very happy that I was composing and fighting to the last point.” The fourth seed Paulini, who won the Italian Open last month, fell from the same opponent for the second straight tournament.
Olympic champion Zheng Convener won a quarter -finals with a tough struggle against the 19th seed Russian Leader Samsanova. The Chinese Eighth Seed extended its win in Roland Garros to 10 matches, which won 7-6 (7/5), 1-6, 6-3.
Zheng will continue its bid for the first Grand Slam title against World No.1 Ariana Subalinika or US 16th seed Amanda Anisimova. Later, on Sunday, Alakaraz continued to defend his honor at the court’s Philip Chatterner against the big -killing American Ben Shelton.
Four -time Grand Slam champion Alakaraz survived a short fear before fighting four seats against Bosnia’s Damer Zomhor in the third round. After receiving the second round walk over, Shelton will be refreshed after the Matu Gaganate race in the last 32.
“Playing the defending champion, 16 … the center court, this very good opportunity, a very good experience, which many people do not find in their lives,” said Shelton, who faced Alcaraz. After removing the US 12th seed’s Australian Alexei Popreen 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, the winner will face the quarter-finals.
