Sinner breaks again to open up a 3-1 lead in the second set! Maybe a slight loss of focus there from Zverev, who was punished for taking his eye off the ball by being broken to love!
Kevin Mitchell has filed a report on Iga Swiatek’s magnificent victory over Simona Halep:
Simona Halep stepped on to Court Philippe Chatrier at the start of day eight at Roland Garros as the logical favourite to drive on to her second French Open title, riding a career-best 17-match winning streak and playing outstanding tennis.
A little over an hour later she was out of the tournament in the fourth round, and the remarkable Polish teenager, Iga Swiatek, was celebrating a 6-1, 6-2 victory that not only swept her into the quarter-finals of a slam for the first time but elevated her to the top of the chasing pack in pursuit of the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.
