Defending French Open champion Iga Swiatek will take on Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia in the women’s singles semifinals at Roland-Garros, Paris on Thursday.

While World No. 1 Swiatek aims to become the first woman to reach consecutive finals at the French Open since Simona Halep (2017-18), Haddad Maia aims to be the first-ever Brazilian woman to reach the French Open final. Gustavo Kuerten is the last player from the South American nation to play a singles final at Roland-Garros when he beat Alex Corretja for the title in 2001.
