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.

Swiatek has won five of the six matches she’s played on clay against Sabalenka, including a thrilling three-setter in Spain last year.

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.
