Top-seeded Swiatek cruised into the semis with a straight-sets win over the American Pegula. Iga has lost just one set to this point in the French Open. The men’s semifinal match was just beginning at the time this article posted. Will report back as that match concludes.

and Over 2.5 sets (+140) in the Martina Trevisan vs. Leylah Fernandez match
Trevisan prevailed in three sets vs. Fernandez to cash that leg, but Nadal prevailedSwiatek over Djokovic in a 4-set classic.
Day 9:
Over 17.5 games in the Iga Swiatek v. Qinwen Zheng match

Swiatek dropped a tiebreaker in the first set. That guaranteed the match would fly OVER 17.5 total games and cash the first leg of the parlay. Cilic took out Medvedev in straight sets. Thus, the Daily Deuce cashed on Monday.
