Swiatek marches on but Jeanjean’s dream run ends – day seven at the French Open
Swiatek is the only top-10 player left in the women’s draw.
Unstoppable top seed Iga Swiatek marched into the last 16 at Roland Garros with her 31st straight win.
But the fairytale run of Leolia Jeanjean, the French wildcard ranked 227 in the world, was ended by Irina-Camelia Begu while third seed Paula Badosa and seventh seed Aryna Sabalenka crashed out.
Swiatek is therefore the only top-10 player left in the women’s draw.
Here, the PA news agency looks back at day seven at the French Open.
