The first semi-final of Roland-Garros is a poster that promises spectacle, between one of the revelations of the tournament, Muchova, and one of the main favorites to win the 2023 edition, Sabalenka. The fight promises to be tight for a place in the final of the Grand Slam tournament.

At what time and on which channel to watch Muchova - Sabalenka

The semi-final (F) of Roland-Garros between the Czech and Belarusian will be broadcast on France 2, Thursday, June 8 at 15 pm, live.

Muchova, facing the monsters

The mission promises to be complicated for Muchova, who will have to beat Sabalenka and Swiatek to win the tournament.

Not really flamboyant in Madrid and Rome, Karolina Muchova is the outsider of these semifinals. After beating Greece's Maria Sakkari in the first round, she gained confidence at Porte d'Auteuil.

The quarterfinal victory over Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals showed her consistency in the tournament. Especially since she manages to manage the important points well, which could make the difference in the semifinals.

The physical and tactical battle will rage on Friday afternoon, with a view to validating a ticket for the 2023 final. The Belarusian displays a disconcerting serenity since the beginning of the fortnight.

Proof of this is that she has still not lost a set on the tournament. Against Sloane Stephens, the number 2 in the WTA rankings had some difficulties (she led 5-0 and had to play a tie-break) but did not tremble.

On Tuesday, she beat Elina Svitolina, who was impressive this year in Paris. Sabalenka's power has always made the difference and it could allow him to go all the way.
