Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are set to meet in the French Open semifinals, despite their stature as top players having not coincided in a Grand Slam final. Swiatek leads their head-to-head record but is not in top form this year. Sabalenka, the world No. 1, is favored due to her excellent serve and recent performances, including titles in Madrid and Stuttgart, while Swiatek's current struggles have impacted her ranking significantly. Both players are motivated to win, especially Sabalenka, who seeks her first Roland Garros title.
Swiatek's numbers at Roland Garros are ridiculous. She's now 40-2 here; only Rafael Nadal reached 40 wins faster.
Sabalenka will probably go into the match as favorite, with her serve, once a weakness, now a huge strength.
