French Open top-seed Simona Halep has crashed out of the French Open, with Poland’s Iga Swiatek completing a 6-1 6-2 rout in the fourth round on Sunday.

The 19-year-old Swiatek, ranked 54th in the world, had lost to Halep 6-1 6-0 at the same stage last year in the claycourt grand slam at Roland Garros.

This time the roles were reversed.

In her first ever grand slam quarter-final, Swiatek will play either fifth seed Kiki Bertens or Italy’s Martina Trevisan.

“I felt like I was playing perfectly,” Swiatek said in an interview on Court Philippe Chatrier.

“I was so focused the whole match and I’m surprised I could do that. This week has been a dream come true for me.”

Swiatek dominated in the rallies as she won three straight games before breaking Halep’s serve a second time for a 5-1 lead after just 20 minutes.

The teenager pumped her first and roared “come on,” when she sealed the first set with a blistering forehand down the line to take command.

Halep was clearly shaken by such an overwhelming start as she panicked with a series of errors and the 2018 champion faltered to find herself 4-1 down by a double break in the second set.

Swiatek served for another 5-1 advantage and even though Halep held on for the following game, Halep’s time in Paris was over when Swiatek booked her quarter-final spot with an overwhelming final serve.

Earlier, Petra Kvitova quelled the exuberance of another teenager Leylah Fernandez to make her way into the fourth round for the first time in five years.

Canadian Fernandez, who has just turned 18, won the junior title at Roland Garros last year and has made rapid strides in the senior game.

She looked like she might pull off a big shock when she led seventh seed Kvitova 5-1 in the opening set but the Czech used all her experience to save two set points and wrestle the contest back her way.

A run of nine games in a row put her firmly in control but Fernandez, the latest hugely exciting talent to emerge from Canada, refused to slide away and made Kvitova work for her 7-5 6-3 victory.

The Czech paid tribute to her opponent, saying: “I definitely think that she is really playing a great game. She’s a great mover. She catches a lot of balls and if she has a chance, she’s really going for it.

Kvitova is the only seed left in her section and will next face China’s Zhang Shuai, who ended the run of French teenager Clara Burel.

The winner of that match will take on either German Laura Siegemund or Paula Badosa of Spain.

Badosa, a former junior champion at Roland Garros, knocked out 2017 winner Jelena Ostapenko, who was unable to build on her big win over second seed Karolina Pliskova in the previous round.

Fourth seed Sofia Kenin survived close matches in both the first two rounds but was much more comfortable on Saturday against Romania’s Irina Bara.

Bara won the first two games but Australian Open champion Kenin then swept through 12 in a row in a 6-2 6-0 victory.

Ons Jabeur became the first Arab woman to reach the fourth round with a dramatic 7-6 (9-7) 2-6 6-3 victory over eighth seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Jabeur’s opponent in the fourth round will be American Danielle Collins, who upset 11th seed Garbine Muguruza 7-5 2-6 6-4.
