Errani takes the first point of the second set with another sensational sliced forehand drop shot winner before also dragging Radwanska up to the net on the second and firing a passing shot winner over the net.

RADWANSKA 4-6 - SET! Errani counters a Radwanska forehand drop shot with one of her own, the Italian's going for a winner, on her way to bringing up two set points. Only one is needed for Errani though as Radwanska sends a forehand long to end another lengthy rally. The Pole is going to have to come from a set down if she is to reach her first French Open semi-final. Fantastic play from Errani.
-
RADWANSKA 4-5 - A great hold from Radwanska. She opens with a tricky smash winner inside out and across court before a backhand winner down the line brings up three game points. She only needs the one though, thumping an ace down out wide to leave the Italian to serve out the set after the change of ends.
