Third-seeded Simona Halep advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Open by beating No. 21 Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1, 6-1.
Halep had lost her previous four clay-court matches against Suarez Navarro, including in the first round at Roland Garros in 2013.
Suarez Navarro dropped her opening service game in the second set but broke back in the next game. It was the only blip from Halep, the runner-up in 2014.
The Romanian will next face either No. 5 Elina Svitolina of Ukraine or Croatian qualifier Petra Martic.
