PARIS, June 6 — Aryna Sabalenka will play Karolina Muchova in the French Open semi-finals after the Belarusian world number two won a politically-charged match against Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-4 today.

Sabalenka has now reached the last four at each of the Grand Slams, where she is on a 12-match winning run following her first major title at the Australian Open in January. — AFP
