The 28-year-old Martina Trevisan, No 59 in the world, had been in the main draw of grand slams only seven times before this tournament.  From her quarter of the draw, she could&#8217;ve expected to face Ons Jabeur, Petra Kvitova, Angelique Kerber and Maria Sakkari before reaching this point but instead she&#8217;s managed to arrive at a grand-slam semi-final having faced only one seed, Leylah Fernandez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">It has been a dream run but perhaps it hasn&#8217;t come entirely out of the blue &#8211; after a miserable start to the clay season, she won the tournament on clay in Rabat, beating Garbi\u00f1e Muguruza along the way.  And her only previous deep run at a slam came in Paris in 2020 when she reached the last eight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">She faces the No 18 seed, Coco Gauff, who arrives in the semi-finals having not dropped a set.  This is the teenager&#8217;s first visit to the final four of a slam tournament but she surely won&#8217;t get a better chance to become the first 18-year-old to reach a slam final since\u2026 um\u2026 Emma Raducanu in the autumn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">No one has played more matches at Roland Garros this year than the American &#8211; she is also into the semi-finals in the women&#8217;s doubles.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6298c6318f084d9060b7384f\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">An emotional Iga Swiatek tells Marion Bartoli on court &#8220;It&#8217;s a pretty special moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">She reveals she listened to Led Zeppelin to prepare for the match today.

Swiatek gets the better of it to bring up another break point\u2026 but again Kasatkina saves.  A beautiful backhand down the line gives her advantage\u2026 but she goes just long on the next.  Both games on her serve di lei so far have gone to deuce and multiple advantages\u2026 but this time a thunking Kasatkina serve settles the argument.

2022 French Open has been awarded &#8211; Ena Shibahara and Wesley Koolhof, the No 2 seeds, are the mixed doubles champions.  The pair were comfortable winners in straight sets over Ulrikke Eikeri and Joran Vliegen.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-1eoy87d\"\/><\/article>\n<article id=\"block-629875b88f084d9060b733b9\" class=\"block false dcr-hghg3q\">\n<header class=\"dcr-hmma49\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1iv2nv7\">Preamble<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>Hello all. <\/strong>And welcome to women&#8217;s semi-final day at Roland Garros.  Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got to look forward to today:<\/p>\n<h2>Order of play<\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\"><strong>Iga Swiatek<\/strong> (1) v <strong>Daria Kasatkina<\/strong> (20) &#8211; <em>not before 2pm BST<\/em><br \/><strong>Martina Trevisan<\/strong> v <strong>Coco Gauff<\/strong> (18)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">First up then, it&#8217;s the No 1 seed.  Swiatek has looked the class act of the field, dropping just one set on her way to the semis, and is heavy odds-on favorite to take the title from this point.  If Daria Kasatkina wanted reason for optimism, well\u2026 Swiatek was looking in fine fettle at the Australian Open before a surprise semi-final exit.  (Although in fairness she bounced back by winning the tournament in Indian Wells. And in Miami. And in Stuttgart. And in Rome. And she&#8217;s won 14 out of 14 on clay so far this season).<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1u6kyh0\">For Kasatkina this is a first slam semi-final, and indeed the first time she&#8217;s been past the third round in one of the big four since 2018. She&#8217;s had a reasonable time of it in the clay swing of the season, reaching the semi- finals in Rome last month.  And she&#8217;s beaten Coco Gauff, Maria Sakkari and Paula Badosa on the red stuff in the last few weeks.
