Greek tennis player Maria Sakkari (18th ranked player) gave the surprise by winning this Wednesday 6-4, 6-4 over Polish Iga Swiatek (9th), current champion of the tournament, and qualifying for the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
Sakkari, who has never played in a Grand Slam semi-final, will meet another rookie in these races, Czech Barbora Krejcikova (33rd) for a place in the final. (GG) (AFP)
