Iga Swiatek made it 33 wins and counting as she eased into the semi-finals of the French Open.
The seemingly unstoppable world number one from Poland swatted aside American 11th seed Jessica Pegula 6-3 6-2.
There was a moment of mild controversy when Swiatek clinched the first set with a winner from a drop shot which replays showed was actually a double bounce.
But Swiatek, who celebrated her 21st birthday on Tuesday, also blasted 30 winners to her opponent's 16 to set up a last-four clash with Russia’s Daria Kasatkina tomorrow.
If Swiatek lifts the title on Saturday – which is looking more and more likely – she will equal Venus Williams’ record of 35 consecutive victories, the longest winning streak in women’s singles since the year 2000.
Swiatek, who won the title here in 2020, said: "The atmosphere is great. I’m pretty happy I can play here and I’ve had so many matches because it’s always a great experience on Philippe-Chatrier.
"It’s always nervous but sometimes stress is a positive thing that can make you more active, more tense, so I try to use it."
Kasatkina, the 20th seed, won the all-Russian affair against Veronika Kudermetova 6-4 7-6 (7-5).
"I have no time to relax, I’m playing already tomorrow," said Kasatkina ahead of her first grand slam semi-final.
"So, a little bit of time, you know, to enjoy it because still it’s special for me and my first semi-final.
"But I know that tomorrow is another, it’s another mountain in front of me which I have to climb and that’s it."
Italy's Martina Trevisan plays 18-year-old American Coco Gauff in Friday's other last-four tie.
Meanwhile, French Open chiefs will discuss introducing earlier starts to showpiece night matches following the ludicrous late finish between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Nadal and Djokovic's blockbuster quarter-final began just after 9pm local time at the behest of broadcaster Prime Video.
The temperature had dropped to 12C and some spectators had left while others were wrapped in blankets by the time Nadal wrapped up victory in four sets at 1.15am.
Both Nadal and Djokovic later admitted the match started too late. "It is, without a doubt," said Nadal.
"Of course I understand the other part of the business, without a doubt, that televisions pays a lot of money to have matches that late, then the tournament makes money and then the players make money, no? We need to find a balance."
And tournament director Amelie Mauresmo, the former Wimbledon and Australian Open champion, said: "Obviously it’s not simple.
"It’s the first year that I’m the tournament director. I’m learning a lot of things regarding the scheduling of the tournament. Having such late matches could actually trigger some questions. I’m wondering about it myself, to be honest.
"We will actually have a feedback session on this at the end, but it’s just 10 (night) matches overall.
"I do not have the answer yet, because we actually see a day at a time and will certainly ask ourselves what to do next and we will try to do some debriefing to see what worked out well, what didn’t work out well with some hindsight, and it definitely will be on the table."
There has been further controversy surrounding the night sessions as only one of the 10 has featured a women’s match, Alize Cornet’s second-round win over Jelena Ostapenko.
But Mauresmo added: "In this era that we are in right now – and as a woman, a former woman’s player, I don’t feel bad or unfair saying that – you have more attraction, appeal (in) general, for the men’s matches."
Swiatek was a little disheartened by Mauresmo’s stance.
She said: "Oh, it is a little bit disappointing and surprising because she was also in the WTA.
"But from my point of view, for every player it’s more convenient to play at normal hour, but for sure I want to entertain and I also want to show my best tennis in every match.
"So I think it’s kind of the personal opinion of every person if they like men’s tennis or women’s tennis more, or if they like them equally. But I think women’s tennis has a lot of advantages.
"And some may say that it’s unpredictable and girls are not consistent.
"But on the other hand it may also be something that is really appealing and it may really attract more people. So it depends on the personal views of some people."
