The Frenchwoman entered the French Open with just one WTA main-draw victory to her name and zero experience in a main-draw Grand Slam. Now, the World No. 361 is just one win away from becoming the first French woman to reach the French Open final since Mary Pierce in 2005.

The French Open women's singles semi-finals take centre stage at Roland Garros on Thursday, when world number one Aryna Sabalenka meets four-time champion Iga Swiatek in a match worthy of a title clash.
