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.

China's Zheng Qinwen advanced to the quarterfinals at the French Open for the first time by beating Russia's Liudmila Samsonova 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-3 on Sunday. The 22-year-old Paris Olympic singles champion continued her strong run at Roland Garros and will face the winner between top seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and Amanda Anisimova of the United States in the next round.
