Your support makes all the difference.Iga Swiatek takes on Coco Gauff in the French Open semi-finals as the defending champion continues her bid of a third title in a row at Roland Garros.
The World No 1 has been in supreme form since saving match point against Naomi Osaka in the second round, and has won 10 of her 11 matches against Gauff.
That includes the 2022 French Open final and 2023 quarter-final at Roland Garros, but Gauff demonstrated the improvements she has made to her game during her comeback win over Ons Jabeur.
While Swiatek faces Gauff in a meeting of grand slam champions, the other side of the draw features an unexpected match between two surprise semi-finalists.
The teenager Mirra Andreeva takes on 28-year-old Jasmine Paolini, with both players through to their first grand slam semi-final. Andreeva stunned Aryna Sabalenka while Paolini defeated Elena Rybakina in two upsets on Wednesday.
