Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen continued her French Open campaign in battling fashion as the Chinese eighth seed overcame Russia's Liudmila Samsonova 7-6(5) 1-6 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals at Roland Garros on Sunday.

The No. 7 seed has now won 10 straight matches at the Roland Garros site, going back to her gold-medal run last summer at the Olympic Games. Zheng is only the second Chinese player in the Open Era to reach the women’s quarterfinals at the French Open -- after 2011 champion Li Na.

Aryna Sabalenka overcame a stiff test from Amanda Aminisova to make it to the French Open quarter-finals for the third consecutive time. Sabalenka will face Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng in the next round.
