World women's number one tennis player Iga Świątek has not lost a match in more than three months, but the Polish star has to fight a bit harder than usual to get through to the French Open fourth round.

It's been so long since number one-ranked Iga Świątek lost — 31 tennis matches now — and even since she ceded so much as a set, which last happened more than a month ago, that she could be forgiven if she couldn't recall how to react when in trouble on a tennis court.

After Saturday's setback, Kovinic said she was dealing with a nerve issue in her right shoulder and felt tingling in that arm and two of her fingers. She also said she made sure to deliver a message to Świątek when they shook hands at the net. "I really want to play against her," said Zheng, who was ahead 6-0, 3-0 when Alize Cornet stopped playing because of an injured left leg.Jessica Pegula vs. Irina-Camelia Begu, who was fined $10,000 after she threw her racquet and it bounced into the stands and brushed a child in the stands earlier in the weekPegula — whose parents own the NFL's Buffalo Bills and NHL's Buffalo Sabres — and Świątek are the only two of the top 15 seeds remaining in the women's draw.
