Hingis though to last eight

Martina Hingis took another step towards completing a glorious comeback to the WTA Tour by advancing to the last eight of the French Open on Monday.

Hingis started the day level at one-set all with Israel’s Shaher Peer but summoned all her experience to complete a 6-3 2-6 6-3 victory and set up a mouth-watering quarter-final clash with Kim Clijsters.
