Defending champion Iga Swiatek will face World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a blockbuster French Open semi-final and their first meeting at a grand slam in almost three years.

Iga Swiatek avoided major drama today as she overcame No. 13 seed Elina Svitolina 6-1 7-5 to set up a highly-anticipated French Open semifinal showdown versus Aryna Sabalenka. Two days ago, the Pole had to come back from a set and a break down to beat Elena Rybakina and keep her French Open winning streak alive.

Elina Svitolina saved three match points and eliminated 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1 to earn her fifth French Open quarterfinal appearance.
