That Nadia Podoroska is ranked 131 in the world and that before this year's Paris tournament she never won a match in a grand slam context, it did not seem much in the quarterfinals.

"Hard to find the words"

The 23-year-old made the process short with the much more experienced Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.

- Together with my coaches, we have done a great job during the corona quarantine.

I have trained a lot and hard and I think it was visible today, says Podoroska who had a bit of a hard time understanding what she has done.

- I have a hard time finding the words like this after the match, she says.

First since 2004

Nadia Podoroska is the first Argentine player to reach the semi-finals of the French Championship since 2004.

In the upcoming seminar, she will face either the Polish Iga Swiatek or the Italian Paola Suarez.
