World No 1 maintains domination over American teenagerNext up is 14th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, who beat Ons Jabeur
Iga Swiatek maintained her dominance both at Roland Garros and in her personal battle with Coco Gauff as she returned to the French Open semi-finals for the third time in her young career. A rematch of last year’s final yielded a similar result as Swiatek, the defending champion, extended her head-to‑head record against Gauff to 7-0 with a 6-4, 6-2 win.
Swiatek will next face Beatriz Haddad Maia, the 14th seed, for a place in the final after Haddad Maia recovered from a set down to defeat Ons Jabeur 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-1 and reach her first grand slam semi-final.
