French Open: Iga Swiatek beats Zheng Qinwen and meets Jessica Pegula next in Paris

Top seed Iga Swiatek fought back from dropping her first set in 10 matches to beat China's Zheng Qinwen and reach the French Open quarter-finals.

Swiatek, who turns 21 on Tuesday, celebrated by earning a 6-7 (5-7) 6-0 6-2 win over world number 74 Zheng.

Zheng fought off five set points to win an absorbing opener, then was hampered by a thigh injury from the second set.

Poland's Swiatek extended her winning streak to 32 matches and now faces 11th seed Jessica Pegula.

Pegula also produced a comeback to beat Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu 4-6 6-2 6-3 in her fourth-round match earlier on Monday.
