Coco Gauff and defending champion Iga Swiatek secured victories on Tuesday to set up a highly anticipated French Open semifinal clash. Gauff, seeded No. 3, displayed her resilience by coming back from a set down to defeat Ons Jabeur 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, advancing to the semifinals at a third consecutive Grand Slam tournament. Meanwhile, top seed Swiatek continued her dominant run with a commanding 6-0, 6-2 win over Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, extending her Roland Garros winning streak to 19 matches as she aims for her third consecutive title in Paris and fourth in five years.

Swiatek, who has won 10 of 11 meetings against Gauff, including a recent victory en route to the Italian Open title, has been in peak form at this year's French Open. Apart from a challenging match against Naomi Osaka, Swiatek has been nearly flawless, dropping just 11 games in her other four matches. The Polish star's impressive performance includes a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Anastasia Potapova and a dominant start against Vondrousova, where she won the first seven games.
