PARIS : Defending champion Iga Swiatek needed only 31 minutes to reach the French Open quarter-finals on Monday as her Ukrainian opponent Lesia Tsurenko retired after feeling unwell.
Following a five-minute medical timeout, the match resumed but Tsurenko threw in the towel after losing the following game to love."I've had this virus for a couple of days and today it was tough for me to warm up and I hoped I would feel better during the match but unfortunately it got worse. My body could not take it.
Swiatek next faces American sixth seed Coco Gauff in a repeat of last year's final, which the Pole won 6-1 6-3 and she will enter the contest having spent just over four hours on court. She still managed to pull a break back but requested the trainer to come on court as she sat down on her bench at the change of ends.
