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.

Four-time champion Iga Swiatek has posted a 26th successive win at Roland-Garros and set up a French Open semifinal clash against top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka.

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.
