Top-ranked Jannik Sinner triumphed over Novak Djokovic with a score of 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) on Friday, securing his place in the French Open final against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Despite Djokovic holding the record for the most Grand Slam titles at 24, he struggled to handle Sinner’s relentless accuracy and powerful forehands on Court Philippe-Chatrier. This victory marked a significant milestone for Sinner, making him only the second Italian man, after Adriano Panatta in 1976, to reach the final at Roland-Garros.
In the earlier semifinal match, Alcaraz was leading Lorenzo Musetti 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-0, 2-0 when Musetti had to retire due to a leg injury. As they approach the final, Sinner is focused on claiming his fourth major title, while Alcaraz aims for his fifth. This final will determine not only the champion of this year’s French Open but also contribute to the ongoing rivalry and ascent of these young tennis stars in the men’s game.
