French Open 2025 Results Day 12 Bracket Winners, Losers, Highlights at Roland-Garros
The 'Queen of Clay' has been dethroned.
Aryna Sabalenka stunned Iga Swiatek in three sets, ending the Pole's bid to become the first woman in the Open Era to four-peat at Roland-Garros.
On Saturday, Sabalenka will compete in her first French Open final against Coco Gauff, who put an end to French wild-card Lois Boisson's magical run.
Here are the biggest takeaways from Thursday's play.
Women's Results
1 of 3
No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka def. No. 5 Iga Swiatek, 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0
No. 2 Coco Gauff def. Lois Boisson, 6-1, 6-2
Aryna Sabalenka Dethrones Iga Swiatek
2 of 3
Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka could not have asked for a better start.
The four-time major champion raced off to a 4-1 lead against Iga Swiatek, breaking the Pole twice, before Swiatek found peak form to take a 5-4 lead.
After the pair continued to trade breaks, the thrilling first set went to a tiebreaker, which Sabalenka dominated with blistering groundstrokes and her serve.
The set may have ended in a tiebreaker, but it was far from even. Sabalenka won 51 of 90 points and thrived on the No. 5 seed's second serve, winning 12 of 18 points.
Swiatek began the second set by immediately breaking the No. 1 seed's serve, but Sabalenka quickly returned the favor.
However, Swiatek brushed it aside, breaking Sabalenka yet again, this time to love.
That break would prove pivotal for Swiatek, as she continued to hold her serve and ultimately sent the match to a third set.
But the third set was all Sabalenka, who won 24 of 30 total points en route to bageling the three-time defending champion.
The 27-year-old has dropped just one set this tournament and is likely to enter the final as an overwhelming favorite.
Coco Gauff Ends Lois Boisson's Incredible Run
3 of 3
Frenchwoman and world No. 361 Lois Boisson entered her semifinal match against Coco Gauff on the heels of two consecutive improbable top-10 victories.
However, Coco Gauff remained unfazed, securing a dominant 6-1 start in just 35 minutes.
In the second set, the 21-year-old broke the wild-card entry early to take control.
Boisson broke right back before Gauff found her best baseline tennis and won eight consecutive points to take a 5-2 lead and stranglehold on the second set.
Gauff played her best match yet, needing just 69 minutes to advance while committing just 15 unforced errors.
On Saturday, the one-time major champion will face top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, who is in remarkable form after defeating three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek.
However, if Gauff can play close to the way she did on Thursday, she most certainly has a chance.
