The 2025 French Open remains to captivate the hearts of tennis enthusiasts with ferocious competition and superior performances. Among the highlight moments, top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and titleholder Iga Natalia Swiatek of Poland have triumphantly reached the women’s singles semifinals after dominating quarterfinal performances.
Sabalenka Powers Past Zheng Qinwen in Straight Sets
In a tense quarterfinal, 27-year-old Aryna Sabalenka showed sensational power and mental resilience to beat China’s Zheng Qinwen. Sabalenka won in straight sets with a 7-6(7-3), 6-3 scoreline, winning the first set through a dramatic tiebreak.
The Belarusian, now the tournament’s number-one seed, maintains her strong Grand Slam performance and seems determined to pursue her very first French Open crown.
Iga Swiatek Outclasses Svitolina to Stay on Track
In another quarterfinal battle, world number five and fifth seed, Iga Swiatek, showed why she’s regarded as one of the most dominant clay court players of her time. The reigning champion swept aside Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina, 6-1, 7-5 in straight sets.
Swiatek’s relentless baseline hitting and powerful returns gave her opponent little space to breathe, as she qualified for another French Open semifinal.
Svitolina and Zheng Knocked Out in Quarterfinals
Even after such spirited performances during the tournament, Elina Svitolina and Zheng Qinwen had their French Open runs cut short in the quarterfinals. Both of them were in good form during the initial stages of the tournament but failed to overcome their higher-seeded rivals during the decisive round.
Epic Semifinal Showdown: Sabalenka vs Swiatek
Tennis enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the high-stakes semifinal showdown between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. The showdown is going to be a high-energy contest between the tournament’s top-seeded player and last year’s champion.
Both players are in red-hot form, so Saturday’s semifinal is likely to be one of the pieces de resistance of this year’s Grand Slam drama in Paris.
