With a beaming smile on her face, Aryna Sabalenka addresses the crowd and admits she probably doesn't want French world number 361 Lois Boisson to come through against world number two Coco Gauff, given the partisan atmosphere she would face in Saturday's final as a result.
We'll bring you her full quotes shortly, before moving on to today's second women's semi-final.
Sabalenka 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-0 Swiatek
Iga Swiatek swiftly packs up her things and waves goodbye to the crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Four titles in the past five years will not become five in six.
Instead, it is Aryna Sabalenka, undoubtedly the world's best player right now, who will bid for her first Roland Garros triumph after an incredible third set display.

This has all happened very quickly...
I wonder what is wrong with Iga Swiatek's serve, whether it is mentally or technically. It has dropped off again and she is definitely getting less pace on her serve compared to the second set.
Sabalenka 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 5-0 Swiatek*
Iga Swiatek has won her last 26 matches at the French Open.
That equals the longest winning streak at a Grand Slam event this century.
But her title defence is hanging by a thread - if that. A missed backhand gives Aryna Sabalenka 15-30.

Who saw this coming after the second set?
Aryna Sabalenka has maintained a solid level but Iga Swiatek's game has completely fallen apart here.
The world number one extends her run of points to nine to take a commanding 5-0 lead. Surely there is no way back from here for the four-time champion.

Iga Swiatek cannot buy a point right now.
The defending champion is broken to love and is staring at a semi-final exit.

This could be as good as the match right here.
Aryna Sabalenka has three break points.

Aryna Sabalenka holds the slight advantage because she served first in this third set.
The psychological gap of 3-0 is so much wider to overcome than 2-1.

The mountain grows for Iga Swiatek at 0-30.
She surely cannot allow this game to slip away.

It is what makes Aryna Sabalenka such an entertaining player to watch. The crowd know exactly how she is feeling at every moment. You could probably tell how the match is going just by listening to her.
The world number one continues her perfect start to the third set as she slams a backhand beyond Iga Swiatek for a 3-0 lead.
It's only a single break of serve in this, but the scoreboard will make Swiatek feel as though she has a mountain to climb from here.

Iga Swiatek did so well on the much harder groundstrokes that came from Aryna Sabalenka, but then she just overplayed the backhand down the line.
You can hear the shriek from Sabalenka - a cry of motivation. She is trying to put her authority on the court at the start of this third set.

It is advantage Aryna Sabalenka in the decider!
Iga Swiatek is overpowered by a punishing forehand to the back of the court and now must play catch-up.

This match feels like anyone's guess now.
There wasn't a common consensus in the media seats before it started.
Predictions spanned every possible result - Sabalenka in two, Swiatek in three, Sabalenka in three, Swiatek in two.
Now it's down to a straight choice over one set, opinion is still split.
Sabalenka 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 1-0 Swiatek*
This is the first set in this match that has started with a hold of serve. Both players are locked in now and it really is set up for a grandstand finish.
Iga Swiatek is having more joy in the longer rallies, despite Aryna Sabalenka's sharp movement, but Sabalenka's power continues to cause problems.
The world number one will have a look at a break point.

What a contest this has become!
Two of the best players in the world - maybe the best player here at Roland Garros in Iga Swiatek and the best player in terms of ranking in Aryna Sabalenka.
They have both come with the entertainment. You really couldn't ask for more.

Iga Swiatek charges on to a drop shot to reach 30-30, but Aryna Sabalenka crouches low to lift a forehand winner over as she escapes from there to take the opening game.

This should be good.
Away we go in set three.

Bad news for the Brits coming from Court 13, I'm afraid.
Andy Lapthorne has suffered his second semi-final defeat of the day, as he and Dutch partner Sam Schroder suffered defeat in the match tie-break against Ahmet Kaplan of Turkey and South Africa's Donald Ramphadi.
Lapthorne and Schroder fought back from losing the first set and were ahead in the first to 10 shoot-out decider, but were ultimately on the wrong side of the scoreline.
It's an upset as Lapthorne and Schroder were the second seeds in the men's quad wheelchair doubles.
And it is double disappointment for Lapthorne, who earlier today lost in the singles semi-final to top seed Niels Vink of the Netherlands, 6-4 6-4.
