Three-time reigning champion Iga Swiatek battled past unseeded Romanian Jaqueline Cristian 6-2, 7-5 to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros on Friday.

Text size:

Swiatek increased her winning run at the French Open to 24 matches as she looks to become the first woman to win four successive titles in Paris in over a century.

The 23-year-old Pole awaits the winner of a big-hitting showdown between Elena Rybakina and Jelena Ostapenko, who has beaten Swiatek in all six of their previous meetings.

Swiatek broke the 60th-ranked Cristian twice in a comfortable first set, but she was pushed a lot harder by her rival in the second and had to save six break points.
