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

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<\/a> , and No. 25 Diana Shnaider.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens next, she has already doubled her career earnings.<\/p>\n

Chwalinska\u2019s total prize money before this tournament was $864,030 and reaching the last four here earns her 750,000 euros (about $872,000).<\/p>

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

\u201cI feel like I was fighting against the wind, against the weather conditions, plus against her. Being lefty, it was very tricky today,\u201d Kalinskaya said. \u201cIt was cold today, so the ball was going slower. I couldn\u2019t use my speed, my power. So it definitely was an advantage for her today, for her game style.\u201d<\/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

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

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

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