I want my revenge," says Sabalenka before facing Zheng in the Roland-Garros quarterfinals

Aryna Sabalenka and Qinwen Zheng will face off on Tuesday for the third time this season, this time in the Roland-Garros quarterfinals.

Sabalenka won their duel in Miami, but it was in Rome—once again in the quarterfinals—that Zheng ended her six-match losing streak against the world No. 1.

Two days ahead of what promises to be an exciting clash, the three-time Grand Slam champion discussed how she plans to approach the match:

"Matches against her are always tough. She’s a great player, and I expect a real battle. I want my revenge. Yes, I want this win after what happened in Rome. I’m happy to play her in the quarterfinals.

In Rome, I was tired. Honestly, I played that tournament thinking I should have been resting instead. I needed recovery before Roland-Garros. I think the courts in Rome are slower, which gives her more time to set up her shots. Now, I feel in great shape and ready to play her.
