Petra Kvitova will play her first semi-final at Roland since 2012. -
CHINA NOUVELLE / SIPA
Poster of the day
Just for the novelty, we will choose the first semi-final of the day, which will pit Iga Swiatek against Nadia Podoroska.
The first named, 19, is THE sensation of the tournament.
The Polish has crushed all her opponents since the start of the fortnight, including the number 1 seed and former winner (2018) Simona Halep (6-1, 6-2).
Opposite, Argentina became the first player in history from qualifying to climb into the last four.
If you haven't seen them play yet, go for it, they're worth a look.
The favorites of the day
Ah bah, life is well done, since we are going to talk here about the other semi-final of the day.
Petra Kvitova, double winner of Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, finds the last four of Roland eight years his last appearance at this level.
At 30, the Czech has turned Porte d'Auteuil green again and her emotion after her last two victories in 8th and quarterfinals made our little hearts tremble.
She faces Sofia Kenin, perhaps the strongest player on the tour this year and who is discovering a taste for clay.
It promises to be hot.
The French of the day
If you ever despair of not being able to sing the
Marseillaise
in Roland's stands, go for a ride on 14. Sean Cuenin for the boys and Elsa Jacquemot for the girls are just waiting for you for their quarter-final for the juniors.
Today's weather
Like Wednesday, it will be cloudy, a lot, and sunny, a little.
No rain or very little anyway.
And that is always good for morale.
The daring prediction of the day
Swiatek will lose a set.
Yes yes, given his tournament, it's rather daring.
