French Open 2013 Schedule Thursday: Women's Singles Semifinals Williams, Azarenka, Sharapova and Errani take Court

Jun 05, 2013 03:42 PM EDT

The Women's Singles semfinals is less than 24 hours from going down. Here is the schedule with approximate start times as the Top 3 players in Women's Singles are taking the court tomorrow.

First up, at 3 p.m. UTC, 9 a.m. ET, watch Victoria Azarenka (3) vs. Maria Sharapova (2). Azarenka, who has been a safe bet in the semis, takes on the defending Australian Open champion in Sharapova. 

For both of these ladies, the first few rounds have been relatively been a piece of cake. Sharapova has struggled at points, but she has only dropped 1 of 11 sets played in the 2013 French Open. Azarenka has also breezed for the most part, but with a few bumps on the road. She has also only dropped 1 of 11 sets and will look to continue playing her style of tennis despite many critics disliking her groans and moans during her matches. 

Azarenka will try to win her second straight grand slam title as she was the victor at the Australian Open. As for Sharapova, she will try to win her second straight French Open. Last year, by winning at Rolan Garros, Sharapova won all the grand slam titles as she was missed the French Open to complete the collection. 

Immediately following this match at Court Philippe Chatrier, watch Serena Williams (1) vs. Sara Errani (5). Though a semifinals match, this one might not be as exciting as expected. Williams has completely dominated Errani in her career. Williams is 5-0 versus Errani since the two met for the first time in 2008. 

For those wondering when the Men's Singles semis take place, they will hit the court on Friday as they too have their semifinal set as Novak Djokovic faces Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer faces Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the last French player in the entire tournament.
