The 30-year-old, a two-times champion at
Wimbledon, reached the last four stage on the claycourts at
Roland Garros for the second time since 2012 and was yet to lose
a set at this year's tournament in Paris.
Siegemund, ranked 66th in the world, did not pose a challenge in
the opening set but gave a good account of herself in the second
despite suffering a lower back problem midway through the set.
Kvitova converted her second match point when her 32-year-old
opponent served a double fault and the Czech will meet the
winner of the all-American clash between Danielle Collins and
Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin for a place in the final.
