Three Thoughts on the Womens' Semifinals at Roland Garros

PARIS - The women's final is set.

In the first semifinal on Philippe-Chatrier, world No. 1 Simona Halep defeated No. 3 seed Garbine Muguruza 6-1, 6-4 to reach her second consecutive French Open final and third final at Roland Garros overall. She'll have yet another chance to fill the gaping void in her resume by winning her first Grand Slam.

Next up was a match between two Americans who happen to be good friends off the court. In a rematch of last year's U.S. Open final, No. 10 seed Sloane Stephens beat No. 13 Madison Keys 6-4, 6-4, to advance to her first French Open final.
