Swiatek reaches French Open doubles semifinals

Defending French Open singles champion Iga Swiatek is trying to win the doubles title, too, and she and her partner are into the semifinals.

Swiatek and Bethanie Mattek-Sands beat the 11th-seeded pairing of Darija Jurak and Andreja Klepac 6-3, 6-2 in the doubles quarterfinals at Roland Garros on Tuesday.

Swiatek will face Maria Sakkari in the singles quarterfinals on Wednesday.

The last woman to win the singles and doubles titles in the same year at the French Open was Mary Pierce in 2000.
