Daria Kasatkina admitted Monday that reaching her first Slam quarter-final was such a shock that she almost left herself homeless in Paris.
The 21-year-old Russian stunned world number two and Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.
However, despite being assured of 380,000 euros (USD 445,000) by reaching the last-eight at the French Open, the world number 14 had only booked accommodation until Tuesday.
"My house which I rent expired today, and I have to change to the hotel," she revealed after reeling off three straight games in just 17 minutes to finish her tie against Wozniacki which was suspended at 3-3 in the second set overnight because of darkness.
"I was renting it until June 5 and today we decided to move so not to do it on a match day. We are moving to the hotel. It is what it is."
She added: "I booked it through Airbnb. So you have to pay in advance. And you never know what is going to happen and if you are in the middle of the second week it's fine to go to the hotel -- I'm not complaining."
