MusaThe 2025 French Open women’s singles semi-final between World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and four-time Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek is set for Thursday, June 5. While the official order of play is yet to be confirmed, the women’s semi-finals are provisionally scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM BST (3:00 PM CEST).
This high-stakes encounter marks the 13th meeting between Sabalenka and Swiatek. Swiatek leads their head-to-head 8–4 overall and 5–1 on clay courts. However, Sabalenka won their most recent match in the semifinals of the 2024 Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, defeating Swiatek 6–3, 6–3.
Swiatek enters the semi-final with an impressive 26-match winning streak at Roland Garros, equaling Serena Williams’ record for the longest women’s singles winning streak at a Grand Slam in the 21st century. She is aiming for her fourth consecutive French Open title and fifth overall.
Sabalenka, seeking her first French Open title, advanced to the semi-finals after a straight-sets victory over Zheng Qinwen. She has been in strong form this season, winning the Madrid Open and reaching the final in Stuttgart.
Both players have spent a similar amount of time on court during the tournament, with Swiatek’s quarter-final win over Elina Svitolina lasting 1 hour and 36 minutes, and Sabalenka’s victory over Zheng Qinwen taking just under two hours.
This semi-final promises to be a thrilling contest between two of the top players in women’s tennis. Fans can look forward to a high-quality match as Swiatek and Sabalenka battle for a place in the French Open final.
