Kostyuk v Andreeva LIVE: French Open latest scores, order of play and updates ahead of politically charged women’s semi-final – UK Times

Errani and Vavassori (1) vs Dabrowski and King

Women’s singles semi-final

Shnaider (25) v Chwalinka (Q)

What else will this extraordinary French Open deliver? For the first time since 1977, both men’s and women’s draw feature no former grand slam champions in the semi-final line-ups. A first-time winner will be crowned in Paris on Saturday and Sunday.

Today, we will find out which two players will compete in Saturday’s women’s final. First, there will be a repeat of the Madrid final as eighth seed Mirra Andreeva faces the 15th seed Marta Kostyuk. Two in-form players.

Then, it’s the battle of the left-handers as the 25th seed Diana Shanaider plays the qualifier Maja Chwalinska. No one had either player in their semi-final line-up, but who can take the next step on a huge day of opportunity?
