Italy's Jasmine Paolini reached her first Grand Slam semi-final at the French Open on Wednesday after dumping out fourth seed Elena Rybakina 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Paolini, seeded 12th, is enjoying the best season of her career at the age of 28 and will play two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka or Mirra Andreeva, 17, for a spot in the final.

She had never previously made it past the second round at Roland Garros but continued her unlikely quest to emulate compatriot Francesca Schiavone, who won the 2010 French Open.
