PARIS: World number one
Iga Swiatek
racked up her 31st straight win to reach the
French Open last 16 on Saturday but only after being tested by
Danka Kovinic
of Montenegro.
Swiatek, the 2020 champion in Paris, dropped serve three times against her 95th-ranked opponent before sealing a 6-3, 7-5 victory.
Kovinic recovered from 1-4 down in the second set to lead 5-4 but Swiatek steadied the ship with a hold and a break before serving out for victory.
Swiatek will face either Chinese teenager
Zheng Qinwen
or France's Alize Cornet for a place in the quarter-finals.
Her winning streak is the best on tour since
Serena Williams
's run of 34 successive wins in 2013.
