Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff enjoyed an outstanding day at the office on Sunday as the Pole and the American clinched very dominant wins to secure French Open quarterfinal tickets.
Swiatek, seeded at No. 1, demolished world No. 41 Anastasia Potapova 6-0 6-0 in just 40 minutes to reach her fifth French Open quarterfinal.
Meanwhile, No. 3 seed Gauff wasn’t as dominant as Swiatek but it was still a huge win as the American dropped a total of three games en route to securing a 6-1 6-2 win over 51st-ranked Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
For a place in the French Open semifinal, Swiatek will play against reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, who defeated Olga Danilovic 6-4 6-2 on Sunday.
On the other side, Gauff is scheduled to meet next three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur, who overcame Clara Tauson 6-4 6-4.

The second set was no different as Swiatek again claimed three breaks without Potapova having a single game or break…
