French Open 2024: Scores, schedule, live stream, start time, how to watch semifinal and final matchups

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek advanced to her third consecutive French Open women’s singles final with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Coco Gauff on Thursday. On Saturday, Swiatek will be taking on Jasmine Paolini, who will be playing in her first ever Grand Slam final, for the French Open title. 

Swiatek has won 18 consecutive clay matches and is on 20-match winning streak at Roland Garros since 2022. As she chases a three-peat, the 23-year-old from Poland becomes just the third woman make it this far in the French Open in three straight years, joining Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova.

Meanwhile, this has been a breakout season for Paolini, a 28-year-old Italian. Paolini had never made it past the second round in a major before this year, but she was ready for the moment when she collected a 6-3, 6-1 win over Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals. Paolini will be making her debut in the WTA top 10 next week and is set to be at least No. 7. 

Swiatek and Paolini have faced each other twice, with the Polish star leading the series 2-0. They have not met since the first round of the 2022 US Open, a match Swiatek won 6-3, 6-0.

On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament due to a knee injury, and that means he won’t be getting his 25th major title yet and will also lose his world No. 1 ranking to Jannik Sinner. The 22-year-old Sinner won his first Grand Slam title earlier this year at the Australian Open, and he will become the first Italian man to be world No. 1.

“It’s for sure not the way I wanted to become No. 1, with Novak retiring, but in another way, the last period I’ve played some really good tennis and I’m happy to be in the position,” Sinner said. “It’s something new coming up for me and something good, so I’m very happy.”

Sinner was dealing with a hip injury earlier this year, but he has been taking care of business at Roland Garros and earned a trip to the semifinals after a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) win over Grigor Dimitrov.

This tournament has historically belonged to Rafael Nadal. However, the Spanish legend saw an early exit with a first-round loss to Alexander Zverev and might have played at Roland Garros for the last time. Spain would not be left without a star, as 21-year-old Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz has been making a name for himself. He is one of the favorites to win the French Open, but to make the title game he will have to take down Sinner in Friday’s semifinals.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 French Open.
