PARIS: Croatian 31st seed Petra Martic reached her first Grand Slam quarter-final on Sunday with a 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 win over Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi.
Martic, 28, had lost all of her previous last-16 matches at the majors including twice in Paris.
But on Sunday, she came back from breaks down in the second and third sets to book a quarter-final against 19-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic.
Martic had knocked out second seed Karolina Pliskova in the third round.
