French Open 2017: Times, TV schedule, matches and live stream for Day 12 at Roland Garros
Karolina Pliskova will face Simona Halep in the women’s semifinals at the French Open on Thursday.


Play at Roland Garros gets underway at 6 a.m. ET, which comes out to 12 p.m. in Paris. The Tennis Channel will have television coverage beginning at 6 a.m. and running through 2 p.m. That coverage will also feature the mixed doubles finals.
NBC will pick up television coverage at 11 a.m. for the women’s semifinals, and a live stream will be available online at NBC Sports and via the NBC Sports app on various devices.
Pliskova and Halep are the second and third seeds, respectively. Pliskova went kind of under the radar in the lead-up to the French Open, with many focusing on Halep, top seed Angelique Kerber, and defending champion Garbine Muguruza.
But Pliskova has played well and breezed through Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinals. Halep has also played well and is a popular pick by experts who think she’ll win her first Grand Slam. But she did struggle in the quarterfinals, needing three sets to advance past Elina Svitolina.
Bacsinszky is the No. 30 seed and she will face Ostapenko, the lone unseeded player remaining. Ostapenko beat Caroline Wozniacki, the No. 11 seed, in the quarterfinals. She needed three sets, but she looked great. Bacsinszky bested No. 13 Kristina Mladenovic in straight sets in her quarterfinal match.
Below is all you need to know to watch Thursday’s action.
