For all their brilliance, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek have had an odd tendency to miss one another at the business end of Grand Slams. Though they have owned several calendar pieces, they never quite collided when it most mattered.

Four-time champion Iga Swiatek has posted a 26th successive win at Roland-Garros and set up a French Open semifinal clash against top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka.

PARIS–Four-time champion Iga Swiatek of Poland swept aside Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-1 7-5 on a windy day at the French Open on Tuesday to earn a semi-final spot and stay in the hunt for a record-breaking victory in Paris.
