French Open 2023, June 8 schedule: Swiatek vs Haddad Maia, Sabalenka vs Muchova semifinals; H2H records, streaming info

Defending French Open champion Iga Swiatek will take on Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia in the women’s singles semifinals at Roland-Garros, Paris on Thursday.

While World No. 1 Swiatek aims to become the first woman to reach consecutive finals at the French Open since Simona Halep (2017-18), Haddad Maia aims to be the first-ever Brazilian woman to reach the French Open final. Gustavo Kuerten is the last player from the South American nation to play a singles final at Roland-Garros when he beat Alex Corretja for the title in 2001.

In the other semifinal, reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka takes on Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova.

World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, with a win over Muchova, could become the first player since Halep (2018) to reach the finals of the first two Majors of the season. On the other hand, a win for Muchova would make her only the fourth Czech woman to reach the French Open final since 1990.

There will also be a mixed doubles final between the Canadian-Kiwi pair of 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu and Michael Venus and the Japanese-German duo of Miyu Kato and Tim Puetz.
