French Open 2026 Women's Semifinal Preview and Predictions for Roland-Garros Bracket

The 2026 Women's French Open has reached its final four contestants.

Aryna Sabalenka's stunning three-set loss guarantees a first-time major champion.

19-year-old prodigy Mirra Andreeva aims to reach her first Grand Slam final, while Marta Kostyuk is looking to keep her perfect clay season alive.

Then, there's Diana Shnaider, who pulled off the upset of the tournament in the quarterfinal, defeating Sabalenka in three sets.

Can she defeat 22-year-old qualifier Maja Chwalinska, who has been having one of the best Cinderella runs we've ever seen?

Mirra Andreeva

Marta Kostyuk has been the most impressive player on the clay swing this year.

The 23-year-old is a perfect 16-0 on clay this season and has earned wins in this tournament over four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek and No. 7 Elina Svitolina, to name a few.

The first-time major semifinalist plays with relentless baseline aggression and is one of the best returners on tour.

Mirra Andreeva, on the other hand, is hungry for vengeance after losing to Kostyuk in the 2026 Madrid Open final.

The 19-year-old, who is looking to reach her first Grand Slam final, is coming off a dominant win over Sorona Cirstea, where she dropped just three total games.

The upcoming match, like their last encounter, promises to be a nail-biter.

Andreeva's ability to redirect rallies, coupled with her aggression, presents a major obstacle to her opponents.

However, Kostyuk's current form is on another level, which should be enough for her to persevere.

Prediction: Marta Kostyuk over Mirra Andreeva in three sets

Diana Shnaider

Maja Chwalinska entered the 2026 French Open with just one career Grand Slam main-draw win.

On Tuesday, she became just the second qualifier to reach the last semifinal at the French Open (Nadia Podoroska).

The 25-year-old has dropped just one set this tournament.

But she's about to face the ultimate challenge against Diana Shnaider.

The 22-year-old is coming off arguably the biggest upset of the tournament: a three-set win over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.

Shnaider trailed by a set and service break but rallied around her impressive forehand to pull off an improbable win.

The No. 25 seed is likely to start as the favorite, but this match can go either way.

Both players play with a counter-punch style; however, if Shnaider can dictate pace with her forehand, this match is hers to win.

Prediction: Diana Shnaider over Maja Chwalinska in three sets
