Unseeded Italian Trevisan reaches French Open quarter-finals
Italian Martina Trevisan booked her place in the French Open quarter-finals on Sunday, edging out Aliaksandra Sasnovich in straight sets.
The world number 59 won 7-6 (12/10), 7-5 to reach the last eight at Roland Garros for the second time in three years.
Trevisan enjoyed a surprise run to the quarters as a qualifier in 2020, losing to eventual champion and current world number one Iga Swiatek.
"Paris is a bit like my second home," said the 28-year-old, who won her maiden WTA title earlier this month in Rabat.
"The atmosphere here is magical and I feel great on the court."
Trevisan will face either last year's US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez or American Amanda Anisimova for a place in the semi-finals.
