Iga Swiatek maintained her dominance both at Roland Garros and in her personal battle with Coco Gauff as she returned to the French Open semi-finals for the third time in her young career. A rematch of last year’s final yielded a similar result as Swiatek, the defending champion, extended her head-to‑head record against Gauff to 7-0 with a 6-4, 6-2 win.

Swiatek will next face Beatriz Haddad Maia, the 14th seed, for a place in the final after Haddad Maia recovered from a set down to defeat Ons Jabeur 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-1 and reach her first grand slam semi-final.
