PARIS : Top seed Iga Swiatek will look to book her third French Open final spot in four years when she takes on Brazilian outsider Beatriz Haddad Maia in their semi-final on Thursday.

After battling back into the top 50, Muchova, ranked 43rd, will now have another mountain to climb to reach a first ever Slam final, with Sabalenka playing the best tennis of her career.
