<p><strong>14:47 CET - </strong>The clash between Mirra Andreeva and Marta Kostyuk feels like it carries extra significance. Of course, it is a Grand Slam semi-final, but there has also been plenty of political tension surrounding it, with contests between Russian and Ukrainian players a big talking point this tournament.</p><p>Kostyuk has been a brilliant face for Ukrainian tennis and her country in general, and she has shown fierce determination this fortnight.</p><p>Meanwhile, Andreeva is the highest seed remaining in Paris, but has lost both of her meetings to Kostyuk, including in the Madrid final recently.</p><p>Whoever comes out on top today will be the big favourite in the final - another reason why there feels like there is added pressure today. This match is truly a tantalising proposition, and it gets underway in 15 minutes.</p><p><strong>Follow the match with Flashscore!</strong></p><p><strong>14:12 CET - </strong>Italian duo Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori have continued their superb mixed doubles run, coming from a set down to defeat Gabriela Dabrowski and Evan King, 4-6, 6-3, 10-4, defending their Roland Garros title.</p><p>It is also Errani and Vavassori's fourth mixed doubles triumph in the last seven Grand Slam events, summing up their dominance.</p><p><strong>10:55 CET - </strong>The second semi-final gets underway sometime after 16:30 CET this afternoon (depending on how long the first semi-final lasts), and it is between two players that nobody would have predicted to make it this far before the tournament began. </p><p>Undoubtedly, Maja Chwalinska is the story of the women's tournament. The Pole qualifier has defied all the odds to make a dream Grand Slam semi-final and she has done it in style. Dropping just one set for someone who had to qualify just to make it to Roland Garros is remarkable and the way she outclassed 22nd seed Anna Kalinskaya in the quarter-finals, delivering in the crucial points and showing great mental strength? That is the sign of an unlikely champion in the making. </p><p>To continue her fairytale run, though, she will have to get past the player who knocked out the world number one in the quarter-finals: Diana Shnaider. The world number 23 produced a statement comeback win against Aryna Sabalenka in the quarter-finals and will take huge confidence from that win heading into the climax of Roland Garros. </p><p>However, two three-set epics in the last two rounds might mean she is slightly more jaded heading into this afternoon's fascinating clash. She will be the favourite and you would expect her to win, but in the tournament where all normality has gone out of the window, who is brave enough to predict the outcome of this one? </p><p><strong>09:00 CET - </strong>Good morning and welcome to the Roland Garros Women's semi-final day! After yet more upsets in the quarter-finals, the 2026 edition of this great competition is wide open and anyone's to go and win. If there were to be a favourite (and yes, we use that term loosely at this stage), it would have to be teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva. </p><p>The impressive young Russian star has been immense at Roland Garros so far this year, having dropped just one set en route to the semi-finals and that came all the way back in the second round.</p><p><strong>Check out a more detailed preview of today's semi-finals here.</strong></p><p>Sorana Cirstea has been playing some of the best tennis of her career lately, yet Andreeva cruised past her with ease in the quarter-finals, dropping just three games in two sets of dominant tennis. However, if anyone can give Andreeva the challenge she has yet to face at this year's tournament, it would be the red-hot Marta Kostyuk.</p><p>The Ukrainian world number 15 has been mightily impressive throughout the last fortnight and has already beaten the Queen of clay, Iga Swiatek and the in-form Elina Svitolina en route to this semi-final. Her victory over Svitolina was her toughest test and just the second time she was forced into a final-set decider.</p><p>Yet Kostyuk showed her class and confidence in the final set to book her place in the semi-finals and keep her French Open dream alive.</p><p><strong>Follow both women's semi-finals with Flashscore</strong>.</p>
