Defending champion Iga Swiatek will play Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia in the French Open semi-finals after the top seed defeated Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 on Wednesday in a rematch of last year’s final.
Swiatek improved her record at Roland Garros to 26-2 after beating Gauff for the seventh time in many meetings.
The 22-year-old from Poland is chasing a third French Open crown and attempting to become the first woman to successfully defend the title in Paris since Justine Henin in 2007.
