The Tuscan champion has a rocket start: the trajectories of her shots are deep and her opponent does not seem concentrated and explosive as in the match against Simona Halep. But the 2-0, which later became 3-1 for Trevisan, turns into a boomerang. The Swiatek puts in a series of three consecutive games and rises for the first time ahead in the score by flying on 4-3. Martina disunites a bit and with an overule by the referee there is still a break point for the Pole who scores with the backhand down the line for the 5-3. The blue tries to react but at the third set point he capitulates, making a mistake with a recovery and then a forehand. The second set does not start in the best way: twice the blue rises 40-15, but loses both games going down 0-2. The Pole plays better and better and alternates long-line conclusions with impregnable diagonals. The second set flies away in a flash, on 5-1 the first match ball and the last backhand mistake of the blue who still comes out with his head held high, with a smile on his eyes. There remain four blue who in the history of Roland Garros have managed to reach the semifinals. The first was Annalies Ullstein Bossi in 1949 (semifinalist), then Silvana Lazzarino in 1954 (semifinalist), Francesca Schiavone in 2010 (winner and then finalist in 2011) and Sara Errani in 2012 (finalist and semifinalist in 2013). In the semifinal Iga Swiatek will face Argentine Nadia Podoroska who surprisingly killed Elina Svitolina. Tomorrow the last two quarter-finals, Danielle Collins against Sofia Kenin and Petra Kvitova against Laura Siegemund.
