Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka, world No. 2, advanced to the semifinals of Roland Garros on Tuesday for the first time in her career, eliminating Ukraine's Elina Svitolina.
She will face Czech Karolina Muchova (43rd), who beat Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 7-5, 6-2 earlier in the day. Muchova has so far managed her best run in the Paris Grand Slam, in line with her first-round blow against Greece's Maria Sakkari (8th)
