Barbora Krejcikova kicked off on the Cour Suzanne-Lenglen against Sloane Stephens, who was a finalist in Roland Garros in 2018. However, Stephens had no assignment against the Czech, who had been playing strongly for weeks. And lost 2: 6 and 0: 6. Surprisingly in this clarity, the American had already defeated Karolina Pliskova and Karolina Pliskova in the course of the tournament. Krejcikova, on the other hand, didn't give Elina Svitolina, who was placed fifth, a chance in lap three.
A few minutes later, Cori Gauff followed suit on the Philippe-Chatrier court. The 17-year-old also beat Ons Jabeur very smoothly with 6: 3 and 6: 1. Gauff particularly impressed with her serve and gave the Tunisian no chance from the start. And meets Krejcikova in the quarter-finals.
The second match of the round of eight in the top half could re-launch the 2020 final. To do this, Sofia Kenin would first have to beat Maria Sakkari, then Iga Swiatek would have to beat Marta Kostyuk in the night session.
