It is women's semi-final day at Roland Garros, with a pair of fantastic match-ups to look forward to in the Parisian capital. As usual, the Tennis Tracker will keep you up to date with all the latest from the second Grand Slam of the year.

19:04 CET - It was a bit of a damp squib, but Coco Gauff won't care a single bit, as she books her spot in the French Open final with a crushing 6-1, 6-2 victory over world number 361 and surprise package Lois Boisson.

Gauff didn't let the occasion get to her in front of a crowd who were heavily against her, showing her experience at this level to ease to an impressive victory. She will take on Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday in a mouthwatering final between the two top-ranked players in the world.

Despite the loss for Boisson, it has been a mighty performance from her this fortnight, beating Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva on her way here. She has made so many headlines and will rise to a career-high 65 in the world.

18:29 CET - Coco Gauff is halfway to her second French Open final after a very straightforward and high-quality 6-1 first set performance. The American was far too good for the French underdog, and looks on course for victory, unless Lois Boisson can produce another miracle.

17:55 CET - The second French Open semi-final between Coco Gauff and surprise package Lois Boisson is now underway, with the winner set to face Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday.

17:35 CET - Aryna Sabalenka has beaten four-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek, 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0, to book her spot in her very first French Open final! 

It is a seismic result for the world number one, defeating the player who has won this tournament three times in a row and was on a 26-match winning streak. She firmly showcased her status as the world's best player and has put down a major statement ahead of the showpiece event on Saturday.

It was a truly rollercoaster contest, and it ended in slightly bizarre fashion. Swiatek looked to have all the momentum on her side after the second set, but Sabalenka went into overdrive, winning 24 of the 30 points in the final set to soar home with some sensational tennis. There is no doubt the closed roof played a big factor too, with the ball travelling quicker and flatter through the air, suiting Sabalenka's power.

Sabalenka now stands on the verge of a first French Open crown and her fourth Grand Slam, while Swiatek's tough season continues. She hasn't won a title in 2025 and now heads to the grass season - a place where she has often really struggled.

17:07 CET - Iga Swiatek has won the second set 6-4, and we are heading to a decider here at Roland Garros! The Pole took control of this set after a flurry of early breaks, and she began to look more assured of her game.

Aryna Sabalenka struggled a lot more on return in the set, and Swiatek has all the momentum now.

16:21 CET - Aryna Sabalenka has taken the first set 7-6(2) against Iga Swiatek, but the Belarusian will be wondering how she didn't win it more easily! The world number one was leading 4-1, 40-30, but Swiatek mounted a comeback to take it to a tiebreak, which Sabalenka ended up dominating.

Despite it going to a tiebreak, it felt like Sabalenka dominated most of a set that contained eight breaks of serve, but her 55% first serve percentage allowed Swiatek looks in on her service games. The latter played an aggressive game, trying to take it to Sabalenka, which resulted in 22 unforced errors and 15 winners by the four-time French Open champion.

Find out if Sabalenka can go on to win the match or if Swiatek can fight back here.

15:10 CET - Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are on court and warming up ahead of this sensational semi-final. Who will come out on top?

13:45 CET - Before we get to the women's semi-finals, we have our first title decided in Paris this year.

Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori are the mixed doubles champions after they saw off American duo Taylor Townsend and Evan King in straight sets 6-4, 6-2.

12:00 CET - Welcome back to the Tennis Tracker, and what a day we have in store at the French Open!

The women's semi-finals get underway in a few hours, and first up is the clash everyone has been waiting for with world number one Aryna Sabalenka coming up against four-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek.

The Belarusian has been in immense form in 2025, winning three titles and reaching the Australian Open final back in January. Eyeing her fourth Grand Slam and her first here in Paris, she has all the momentum on her side.

Despite not being anywhere near her best this year and without a title to her name, Swiatek looks like a completely different player at the place she has utterly dominated. On a 26-match winning streak and having won the last three titles here, she is a force of nature, which is what makes this clash so tantalising. 

In the second semi-final, world number 361 and home favourite Lois Boisson looks to continue her absolutely stunning run at the French Open, which has seen her dump out both Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva. She has captivated the home crowds and will be eyeing another seismic upset.

She comes up against Coco Gauff, who has struggled during the tournament and was involved in a frighteningly low-quality quarter-final with Madison Keys. However, an absolute master at digging deep and winning when she is playing poorly, she certainly will fancy her chances of reaching her second French Open final. 

What a day it promises to be!
