The women's singles and the men's doubles semifinals will take centerstage on Day 11 of the 2023 Italian Open.
The day will commence with the men's semifinal. The team of Hugo Nys and Jan Zielinski will be aiming to reach their first Masters 1000 final, but the pairing of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos stands in their way.
Veronika Kudermetova and Anhelina Kalinina are scheduled to compete next. Both are gunning for their maiden WTA 1000 final. The biggest match of the day will take place after that, which will be the clash between Grand Slam champions.
Reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina will square off against former French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko in the second semifinal. The Latvian has been tested every step of the way. Aside from her third round win over Barbora Krejcikova, she needed three sets to overcome all her opponents.
Rybakina looked down and out against defending champion Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals. However, she dug deep to claim the second set and take the match into a decider. Unfortunately, the top seed was unable to continue in the final set due to an injury and had to retire, sending the Kazakh into the next round.
Rybakina and Ostapenko faced off in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open earlier this year, with the former winning in straight sets. The match between top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski and the Dutch duo of Robin Hasse and Botic van de Zandschulp will close out the day's proceedings.
On that note, here's a look at the order of play for Day 11 of the Italian Open.
