French Open: Iga Swiatek through to Roland Garros last 16

Hot favourite Iga Swiatek came through her toughest test yet to reach the French Open last 16 as the draw continued to open up for her in Paris.

While not reaching a level as high as her previous two victories, the 20-year-old from Poland still had too much quality for the world number 95.

She is now the sole top-10 seed left in the women's draw after exits by Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa on Saturday.

Seventh seed Sabalenka was beaten 4-6 6-1 6-0 by Italian Camila Giorgi, while Spanish third seed Badosa retired injured while trailing Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-3 2-1.
