"It's magic to play here" - Giorgi after taking down Sabalenka

Camila Giorgi can play electric tennis when she's in the zone and she did that against Aryna Sabalenka sending the Belarussian packing.

It featured a comeback from the Italian as she dropped the first set 4-6 but then smashed her 6-1 6-0. Giorgi is a very streaky player and generally doesn't produce comebacks as she quickly bombs in the 2nd set. That made this comeback even more impressive, especially against Sabalenka who never makes it easy for you.

The Italian is enjoying a succesfull run and after the match she admitted that simply everything worked:

"I think that I adapted a little bit, I played very well, I played my game, aggressive - after that it worked."

She also added how much she loves to play in Paris because it's her favourite city:

"For me it's magic to play here. I love Paris, it's my favourite city and I'm extremely happy."

Up next for her is Daria Kasatkina and that promises to be a really fun match.
