Paris Major – Four semi-finals, four clashes: the full schedule at Roland-Garros

Philippe-Chatrier is about to experience an XXL day. From 13 hrs , the four semi-finals of the Paris Major will take place one after the other on the Roland-Garros center court, with two women's matches and two men's matches.

The world number 1 Coello / Tapia to the heroic journey of Ortega / Araújo , including those seeking revenge Fernandez / Calvo , and the new big performance of Di Nenno / Navarro Each match has its own story. Only one step remains to reach Sunday's finals.

Sánchez / Ustero VS Ortega / Araújo: the Chatrier to start

The day will start at 13 hrs with a first women's semi-final between Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero (TS3) et Marta Ortega / Sofia Araújo (TS5) .

Both pairs reached the semi-finals after battling it out in three sets. Sánchez and Ustero ended the impressive run of Alejandra Salazar / Aranzazu Osoro (TS8) , with a victory 6/3 3/6 6/2 But the story of Friday belongs mostly to their opponents.

Ortega / Araújo spent more than three hours on the track , to overturn Paula Josemaría / Bea González (TS2) : 2/6 7/6 7/6 The Spanish-Portuguese pair mainly had to save five match points before securing their qualification. A victory all the more remarkable given that Josemaría/González had swept them aside. 6-0, 6-2 a week earlier in the Madrid P1 quarter-finals .

It remains to be seen what lasting impact this battle will have. Facing a pair Sánchez / Ustero Ortega and Araújo, who were also pushed to the third set on Friday but are necessarily fresher, will have to recover quickly to try to extend their Parisian adventure.

Coello / Tapia VS Lebrón / Augsburger

Next up are the men, with probably one of the most anticipated matches of the day . Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia (TS1) will find Juan Lebrón / Leo Augsburger (TS3) .

The world number ones continue to advance with impressive consistency. In the quarterfinals, Coello / Tapia have dismissed Fran Guerrero / Javi Leal (TS7) in two rounds, 6 / 2 7 / 5 and above all, they retain a special love affair with Roland-Garros: they have won the last three editions of the Paris Major .

But if there's one pair capable of approaching this match knowing they can take down the favorites, it's definitely Lebrón / Augsburger After narrowly avoiding elimination in the round of 16, they regained control against Momo González / Lucas Campagnolo (TS8) , beaten 6 / 3 7 / 6 Above all, the two men have already achieved what very few pairs have accomplished this season: beat Coello / Tapia , in Brussels, 2/6 6/3 6/3 .

For Lebrón and Augsburger, the challenge is immense, but certainly not unknown.

Triay / Brea VS Fernández / Calvo: Youth still wants to shake up the established order

The third match of the day will pit Gemma Triay / Delfi Brea (TS1) à Claudia Fernández / Martina Calvo (TS4) .

On paper, it's Triay and Brea arrive with more freshness The number 1 team perfectly controlled their quarter-final against Carolina Orsi / Patty Llaguno (TS13) swept away 6 / 0 6 / 3 A swift victory that allows them to approach the final four without having expended too much energy on the track.

The journey was much more eventful for Fernandez / Calvo . Opposed to Marina Guinart / Alejandra Alonso (TS7) The two young Spanish women completely missed their start before turning the situation around: 2/6 6/2 6/4 . Another demonstration of character for a pair that formed during the season and quickly established themselves as one of the main threats in the women's draw.

And especially, Fernández / Calvo know they can beat Triay / Brea They've already done it twice since the beginning of their partnership, which inevitably removes some of the unknown from the challenge that awaits them. But this time, it will be on the Philippe-Chatrier ...for a place in a Major final. Between the experience and mastery of the number 1 seeds and the carefree attitude of two players who continue to rise in stature, this third semi-final promises to be a real... clash of generations .

Fernández/Calvo meet up with Triay/Brea: “I wouldn’t want to relive that”

Galán/Chingotto vs. Di Nenno/Navarro: the return to Madrid is still fresh in their minds.

To conclude this day, Ale Galán / Fede Chingotto (TS2) will find Martín Di Nenno / Paquito Navarro (TS6) This match has a hint of revenge about it, since the two pairs have faced each other before. last week at Madrid P1 , in a huge fight won by Galán and Chingotto at third set tie-break .

In Paris, Galan / Chingotto have once again risen to the occasion. In the quarter-finals, they put an end to the superb run of the team that defeated Yanguas/Nieto. Edu Alonso / Aimar Goñi (TS12) , by imposing 7 / 6 6 / 2 A two-set qualification that allows them to continue their quest for a new title and to stay in touch with Coello / Tapia in the fight at the top of world padel.

But be careful Di Nenno / Navarro Reformed this season, the Spanish-Argentine pair has just pulled off one of the biggest upsets of these quarter-finals by eliminating Franco Stupaczuk / Jon Sanz (TS4) Trailing after losing the first set, Paquito and Martín completely turned the match around to win. 4/6 6/1 6/4 , after more than two hours of fighting.

They will therefore have another opportunity to test themselves against Galan / Chingotto , just a few days after coming very close to defeating them in Madrid. This time, the stakes will be even higher: a Major final at Roland-Garros And to end the day on the Chatrier, it's hard to imagine a much more attractive match.
