Winds of change blow on day of upsets at French Open

PARIS – On a Sunday of upsets at the French Open, revenge was a dish served up in an autumnal chill by a Polish teenager.Against the player who humbled her 6-1, 6-0 at the same stage last year, Iga Swiatek turned the tables on top-seeded Simona Halep, sending the 2018 champion packing 6-1, 6-2 with powerful groundstrokes and exquisite net play to advance to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal.Halep, who also lifted the title at Wimbledon last year, never got into her stride on Court Philippe Chatrier and was unable to exert any pressure on the 19-year-old who wilted with nerves in their fourth-round meeting last year that was over in just 45 minutes.Halep lasted just 23 minutes longer this time.
