In the fourth round or the eighth final, Svyonteka defeated Qinweni (WTA 74) with 6-7 (5-7), 6-0, 6-2.
With the victory, the Polish woman repeated the third longest series of victories in this century, which was achieved 14 years ago by the Belgian athlete Justin Enen.
“She played a wonderful game of tennis,” said Schwyontek after reaching the quarterfinals in Paris for the third year in a row. “I was surprised by some of her blows. I’m happy to win after the disappointing first set I lost in the lead.”
In the 82-minute first set, Qinwei neutralized five setpoints and played from 2: 5 in Taiwan.
Due to a leg injury in the second set, when the result was 0-3, the Chinese were given medical assistance to Qinweny, who had previously defeated the 2018 Romanian champion Simon Halep, returning to the field with a strongly tied right thigh.
Švjonteka was also helped to win by 46 opponents’ unforced mistakes.
In the fight for the place in the semi-finals, the world leader will meet with the 11th rocket of the tournament Jessica Pegula from the USA, who defeated the Romanian Irina Bec (WTA 63) on Monday with 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
In the second quarter final, two neutral athletes will meet – Veronika Kudermetova (WTA 29), who played American Madison Kis (WTA 22) with 1-6, 6-3, 6-1, and Dary Kasatkin (WTA 20), who played 6 -2, 6-2 defeated Italian Camilla George (WTA 30).
