Sabalenka storms into French Open fourth round

Sabalenka storms into French Open fourth round

Paris, May 30 (UNI) World number one Aryna Sabalenka produced another devastating display to reach the French Open fourth round on Friday and continue her pursuit of a first Paris title.

The three-time major winner stamped her authority on the match early on by winning the first five games against Serbia's Olga Danilovic.

The 27-year-old went on to complete a 6-2 6-3 victory on Court Philippe Chatrier to set up a meeting with American Amanda Anisimova.

The Belarusian, who has reached at least the quarter-finals at each of the past nine Grand Slams she has contested, has lost just 10 games in her first three matches in Paris.

Now in her 40th consecutive week as the top-ranked women's player, Sabalenka thanked her team for helping to lay the foundations for her continuing success, the BBC reported.

"When I am on court, I am a completely different person, very focused, very aggressive. On the court it is about dreams and I give my all on court," she said in her on-court interview.

"Off court, it is important to surround yourself with the right people and have fun with your crew and that's what I'm doing.

"I am really grateful to have all of them on my team, we are like family."
