Paris: Unheralded Karolina Muchova saved a match point as she stunned world number two Aryna Sabalenka to reach the French Open final on Thursday. The 43rd-ranked Muchova will play her first Grand Slam final after knocking out Australian Open champion Sabalenka 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (5/7), 7-5, ending the Belarusian’s 12-match winning run at majors. She will meet top-ranked Swiatek, the 2020 and 2022 French Open winner, who beat Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia on Saturday after overturning a 5-2 deficit in the final set to topple Sabalenka.

It’s unbelievable, I tried to keep fighting and it worked. I’m so happy,” said Muchova. She added Sabalenka to an impressive list of victims in Paris which included eighth seed Maria Sakkari in the first round and 2021 runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarter-final. Only three women ranked lower than Muchova have made the final before in Paris, including the then-teenaged Swiatek who was 54th when she claimed her maiden Grand Slam title in 2020. Muchova saved two break points in the fourth game of the opener and then broke Sabalenka at 4-4 to leave herself serving for the set.

We now know seven of our Australian Open semi-finalists, with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Danielle Collins and Iga Swiatek advancing on a hot, then rainy day at Melbourne Park. The question remains who’ll become the eighth. Plus there’s more Aussie news to celebrate in the doubles - not just the Special Ks.

Tsitsipas returns to the semi-finals for a second consecutive year and will face either Daniil Medvedev or Felix Auger-Aliassime on Friday night. He did not face a break point, and Tsitsipas’ win confirms that for the first time in 33 Slams, there are no first-time male or female semi-finalists. With Tsitsipas up a break in the second set, rain hit Melbourne Park for the first time this Australian Open, forcing the game to be suspended as the roof was closed.

He was able to close out the set despite the improving level of Sinner. While Sinner’s level continued to prove improved in the third set, Tsitsipas was simply on another level. Some superb winners helped set up a break point opportunity early in the third set and he pounced, taking a 2-1 lead and leaving commentators in awe. A double-bre...
