Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova came from a set down on Sunday to beat Victoria Azarenka 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 and reach her first French Open quarter-final since 2011. The Russian 31st seed broke former world number one Azarenka eight times to advance to her seventh Grand Slam quarter-final. She will play Serena Williams or Elena Rybakina for a place in the last four. "It's really incredible I'm still playing tennis 10 years later," said Pavlyuchenkova, who turns 30 next month. "It's a surprise for me to be here. I fought for each ball and each point and played very well." Pavlyuchenkova, who lost to eventual runner-up Francesca Schiavone here a decade ago, matched her best run at a major. She has made the last eight at all four Slams, including three of the past five Australian Opens. She knocked out Aryna Sabalenka, the highest-ranked player left in the draw, in the previous round to avenge a semi-final loss to the Belarusian in Madrid. mw/dj
