PARIS — 1:15 p.m.
The first French Open semifinal between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Stanislas Wawrinka is underway in hot and sunny conditions on center court.
Both are looking to reach their second Grand Slam final, with Tsonga losing in the 2008 Australian Open final, and Wawrinka winning that tournament in 2014.
Tsonga hopes to give France its first men's champion at Roland Garros since Yannick Noah in 1983; Henri Leconte was the host country's last male finalist, in 1988.
They have met six times before, with three wins each.
Tsonga is seeded 14th, and Wawrinka is seeded eighth, and the winner plays top-ranked Novak Djokovic or third-seeded Andy Murray.
