<p>Reigning women&rsquo;s champion Iga Swiatek continued her ruthless demolition of French Open opponents on Tuesday as she stormed into the semi-finals.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Swiatek, 23, thrashed Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-0, 6-2 to set up a last-four showdown with American third seed Coco Gauff, the player she beat in the 2022 Roland Garros final.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Paris career record of 33-2</h2>
<p>World No. 1 Swiatek improved her career record in Paris to 33-2 and is on course to become the first woman to lift the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen three years in a row since Justine Henin in 2005-07.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After Swiatek&rsquo;s 40-minute rout of Anastasia Potapova in the last 16, the only consolation for Vondrousova was her snapping the Pole&rsquo;s incredible run of 20 consecutive games won early in the second set. &ldquo;Honestly I think everything worked,&rdquo; said Swiatek. &ldquo;I felt like I was in the zone today.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since saving match point against Naomi Osaka in Round Two, Swiatek has looked every bit the tournament favourite and goes into her semi-final with Gauff having won 10 of their 11 meetings, all in straight sets.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gauff has come up short against Swiatek in four attempts on clay and was beaten by the top seed on her way to the title in Rome last month. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t want to change your routines. Not to put too much baggage on your shoulders, just treat it like any other match,&rdquo; said Swiatek. &ldquo;Against Coco, it&rsquo;s not easy, she really likes playing on clay especially here. I&rsquo;ll just focus on myself.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Jabeur goes down fighting</h2>
<p>Gauff passed her toughest test of the fortnight as she fought back from a set down to beat three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.&nbsp;</p>
