PARIS (AP) \u2014 Maja Chwalinska extended her remarkable French Open run by beating No. 22-seeded Anna Kalinskaya 7-6 (3), 6-3 Wednesday to reach the semifinals.<\/p>\n

The unseeded Chwalinska came through three qualifying rounds to become only the second Polish woman to reach the semifinals at Roland Garros, along with four-time champion Iga Swiatek.<\/p>\n

Kalinskaya\u2019s wild shot at the net gave Chwalinska a match point and she converted it when Kalinskaya\u2019s big forehand from the back of the court went out.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Chwalinska put her hand over her mouth and then her face in her hands in near disbelief.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. Every single match here is kind of crazy for me,\u201d she said. \u201cI was definitely nervous. I\u2019m stressed of course but I try and focus on my job, on my game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chwalinska had never been beyond the second round at any major before this tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m playing against the best players in the world,\u201d she said. \u201cI won\u2019t compare myself to them.\u201d <\/p>\n

Her next opponent will be the winner of Wednesday\u2019s last remaining women\u2019s quarterfinal between top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, last year\u2019s runner-up, and No. 25 Diana Shnaider.<\/p>\n

Windy conditions<\/h3>\n

After they traded early breaks of serve amid blustery conditions with the roof open on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Chwalinska led 5-1 until Kalinskaya broke back in the seventh game, having saved a set point, then held for 5-3.<\/p>\n

Kalinskaya saved another set point at 40-30 down in the following game, then used her strong backhand to break a nervous-looking Chwalinska\u2019s serve again.<\/p>\n

A fan waved a Poland flag when Chwalinska held in the 11th game to stem Kalinskaya\u2019s comeback. The flag was raised again when she won a 25-stroke rally to move 5-3 up in the tiebreaker, and she clinched the first set at the third opportunity when Kalinskaya\u2019s two-handed backhand sailed long.<\/p>\n

Chwalinska secured a double break of serve to lead 4-1 in the second set, but dropped her serve when serving for the match at 5-2. <\/p>\n

It made little difference as Kalinskaya\u2019s flagging serve soon gave her another chance.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s matches<\/h3>\n

In the two remaining men\u2019s quarterfinals, No. 4 Felix Auger-Aliassime took on No. 10 Flavio Cobolli before unseeded Italians Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi faced off. <\/p>\n

All of Wednesday\u2019s matches were held on Chatrier. <\/p>\n

Second-seeded Alexander Zverev and No. 26 Jakub Mensik won their quarterfinals Tuesday and will meet in the semifinals. ___<\/p>\n
