For all their dominance over the past few years, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek have never played in a Grand Slam final -- and this trend will continue since they face off in the semifinals at the French Open on Thursday.

Three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek set up a blockbuster French Open semi-final clash with world number one Aryna Sabalenka on Tuesday, as reigning men's holder Carlos Alcaraz powered his way into the last four.

Having been searching for her best form in recent months, Iga Swiatek, who struggled in the previous round, was in total control in the opening set.
