The women's singles semifinal between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek will be played on Thursday afternoon.
It will be a highly-anticipated clash between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek in the first semifinal of the 2025 Roland Garros. It’s a battle between a current world No. 1 and the former world No. 1. Sabalenka overcame the 8th-seeded, Qinwen Zheng in the quarterfinals, while Swiatek knockout out Elina Svitolina in straight sets to reach the 2025 French Open semifinals.
Aryna Sabalenka’s biggest clay-court matchup is here, and it won’t be easy for the Belarusian ace to counter the four-time Roland Garros champion, who is on a 26-match winning streak. Sabalenka came through a dream run of form this year, three titles and three runner-up finishes. She didn’t lose a set en route to the semifinal journey and took a revenge against Zheng in the quarterfinals with a straight-set victory.
Sabalenka also reached into the final of the Australian Open this year and lost to Maddison Keys. Furthermore, she has gone 13-2 in the semifinals since the start of 2024 and posted a 6-0 record in this year’s semifinal clashes without dropping a set.
On the other hand, Iga Swiatek, the clay queen is chasing her record fifth Roland Garros title this year. She is riding on a 26-match winning streak in the competition but lost all six semifinal matches this year, including the Cincinnati Open 2024 defeat against Sabalenka. During the fourth-round victory, the Polish ace proved why she is the champion player on the clay court.
Swiatek pulled off a comeback against Rybakina after going 1-6, 0-2 down. She has met world No. 1 players three times and the only victory came against Sabalenka in the 2023 WTA Finals. She holds the 8-4 lead over Sabalenka in the WTA H2H meetings.
The women’s singles semi finals in the 2025 French Open between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek will be played on Thursday afternoon. After this, the second women’s singles semi final will be played between Coco Gauff and Lois Boisson.
