Francesca Schiavone has made history for Italian tennis at the French Open as the first woman from her country to make the last four of a grand slam singles event in the Open era.
29 year old Schiavione surprised herself and shocked the Danish third seed Caroline Wozniacki 6-2 6-3, nine years after reaching the last eight on her first appearance at Roland Garros.
Her opponent in the semi-finals will be the Russian Elena Dementieva
