French Open: Swiatek drops set, extends win streak | Nikhilodien

The No. 1-ranked Swiatek shook off an uncharacteristically problematic stretch and came back to beat 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen of China 6-7 (5), 6-0, 6-2 Monday in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Iga Swiatek’s 20-set winning streak ended. Doesn’t matter, because her run of consecutive match victories is now up to 32.

The No. 1-ranked Swiatek shook off an uncharacteristically problematic stretch and came back to beat 19-year-old Zheng Qinwen of China 6-7 (5), 6-0, 6-2 Monday in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Swiatek, the 2020 French Open champion, took leads of 3-0 and 5-2 in the first set but couldn’t close it out, wasting five set points in all. In the tiebreaker, Swiatek claimed five consecutive points to lead 5-2 — and the 74th-ranked Zheng responded by reeling off the next five points.

Zheng’s movement was not as good at the start of the second set and she took a medical timeout to have her upper right leg taped while down 3-0. Swiatek grabbed eight straight games to own the second set and take a 2-0 lead in the third and would not let the lead slip away. Swiatek has not lost a match since February, earning five consecutive titles. No woman has produced more wins in a row since Serena Williams had a 34-match streak end in 2013.

Swiatek’s quarterfinal opponent will be 11th-seeded Jessica Pegula of the United States.

Serbs to President Joe Biden: "Novak Djokovic is not a security threat" Source: TennisWorldUSA Tennisspeak- Due to the fact that Novak Djokovic does not have access to the United States at this time as a result of his immunization problem and the fact that he is required to obtain a green pass in order to enter the United States, he is unable to compete.  On the other hand, a proposal has emerged from Serbia with the intention of providing the matter with a decisive boost, with the end objective of enabling the three-time winner of the US Open to compete in Flushing Meadows. An initiative spearheaded by Nebojsa Jovanovic, owner of a company that promotes professional tennis in Serbia. Jovanovic wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, appealing to a particular legal clause in the 10294 presidential proclamations of national interest, under which foreign citizens would be granted an exemption and would therefore be able to enter the United States. Jovanovic's letter was...

  Sam Querrey vs. Filip Krajinovic 6/16/22 Queen’s Club Tennis Picks, Predictions, Odds,Live | Tennisspeak Sam Querrey will meet Filip Krajinovic in the Round of 16 at the 2022 Queen’s Club Championships. The match will be played on Thursday June 16th, 2022 at 11:00am EST. Filip Krajinovic is ranked #48 in the world and is playing in the Queen's Club Championships as an unseeded player. The Serbian has a horrible track record on grass, and hasn't won a match at Wimbledon since 2012. His first grass competition of the season, Queen's, saw him defeat Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3 in the first round. During that match, Krajinovic returned exceptionally well, something he'll need to do even better against Sam Querrey's massive serving. He isn't a natural on grass, but he has a terrific all-around game, is at ease at the net, and has a good slice. The huge American may be troubled by his versatility, but he will most certainly struggle with the situation. Sam Querrey...
