Aryna Sabalenka defeated Qinwen Zheng 7-6(3), 6-3  in the quarterfinals of the French Open and advanced to the semifinals. Sabalenka took almost two hours to hold off Zheng in a thrilling match between the two.

“I have to say I was pretty exhausted in Rome. Honestly, I was playing the tournament constantly thinking I shouldn’t be playing and I needed a little rest before Roland Garros. I was actually glad I lost that match, because I needed a little break before Roland Garros. Today I was just more fresh. I was ready to battle, I was ready to fight, I was ready to leave everything I had on court to get this win,” said Aryna Sabalenka in her post-match interview about her loss to Zheng in Rome.
