Maja Chwalinska continues superb French Open run after reaching quarterfinals

Poland's Chwalinska broke her 92nd-ranked opponent three times and saved the only break point she faced, while she hit 21 winners to just 14 unforced errors.

The 24-year-old, who is ranked 114th in the world, has now won seven consecutive matches at Roland Garros, having won three qualifying rounds prior to her four main draw wins.

She also defeated Maria Sakkari, Elise Mertens and Qinwen Zheng in the main draw.

In her on-court interview with Marion Bartoli, Chwalinska was asked what she was feeling.

"Well, I think pure joy. I didn't expect it, for sure, starting the tournament, so I'm just very, very grateful to be here," said Chwalinska.

On the challenge of playing against a French opponent at Roland Garros, she said: "Well, I was aware that you guys want her win, obviously. But I don't blame you.

"But thank you for supporting us respectfully; the atmosphere was great, so I'm very grateful for everyone who came and supported us."

Chwalinska also spoke about her performance, which was filled with drop shots and high-bouncing forehands.

"It wasn't like a tactic, but it's pretty natural for me to play a lot of drop shots, and high balls from forehand, so it was just my game today," she explained.
