PARIS: Ashleigh Barty's impressive run at the French Open continued on Monday when the Australian saw off American Sofia Kenin 6-3 3-6 6-0 to reach the quarter-finals.
"I just wanted to enjoy myself here, play with freedom," said Barty, who also reached the last eight at the Australian Open this year. The American had found her range, though, and she went 3-0 up in the second, pulling her opponent around the court - just as she did in beating 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams in the previous round.She saved two break points at 5-3 and levelled the tie at the third attempt when Barty fluffed a forehand.
