The 2013 French Open at Roland Garros is coming to a dramatic climax as Maria Sharapova takes on Victoria Azarenka in the first of the women’s semi-finals.
Sharapova had to come from a set down in the quarter-finals against 18th seed Jelena Jankovic but the 2012 champion was eventually too strong for the Serb.
Azarenka meanwhile went through in straight sets to book herself in this thrilling fixture between the world numbers two and three.
The winner of this clash will face either favourite Serena Williams or 2012 beaten finalist Sara Errani in the final, who play each other in the other semi later in the day.
Azarenka has beaten Sharapova the last three times the two women have met, twice in 2012 finals at the Australian Open and Indian Wells.
The Russian triumphed the last time these two met on clay however and will therefore take something from that heading into this tie.
