- Nadia Podoroska (WTA 131) is the first to qualify in the semi-finals of the French Open after a 6: 2, 6: 4 win over Jelina Switolina (WTA 5).
- There, Argentina will face the Polish Iga Swiatek (WTA 54), 19, who ended the streak of the Italian qualifier Martina Trevisan (WTA 159).
Nadia Podoroska celebrated her eighth consecutive victory at the French Open in Paris, including qualifying. Argentina achieved the next blow with her 6: 2, 6: 4 victory over Jelina Switolina: as first qualifier, she reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
Her aggressive play (30 winners, 30 unforced errors) paid off against the Ukrainian favorite. After 1:19 hours, the 23-year-old spun her third match ball.
Trevisan fairy tale ends in the quarterfinals
Switolina was the top-ranked remaining player in the Roland Garros women’s draw. In the semifinals, Podoroska will now face Iga Swiatek, a player who was not expected in the semifinals at the start of the tournament. The 19-year-old Pole had just given up 3 games to No.1 seed Simona Halep in the round of 16.
In the quarterfinals against Martina Trevisan, Swiatek took advantage of her solid performance and gave up only 4 games on Tuesday night. Her 6: 3, 6: 1 victory over the Italian, who had also played in the last eight through qualifying, was confirmed after 1:18 hours.
Swiatek, the 2018 junior winner at Wimbledon, is in a major semi-final for the first time.
