The French Open semifinals have been finalized, promising exciting matchups in both the men’s and women’s events.
In the men’s draw, Carlos Alcaraz will face Lorenzo Musetti, while Jannik Sinner squares off against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz, the world No. 2, is a heavy favorite, boasting odds of -650 against Musetti, who sits at +475. The matchup between Sinner and Djokovic appears particularly intriguing, with Sinner at -380 and Djokovic at +290. Both players are aiming for a berth in the finals, with Alcaraz’s odds to win the tournament set at -120, followed closely by Sinner at +140 and Djokovic at +700.
Alcaraz has regained his form after a shaky start to the tournament, recently coming off a strong victory against Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals. Demonstrating remarkable skill on clay, he has won 20 of his last 21 matches on this surface, making him a strong candidate to defend his title at Roland-Garros.
The women’s side also showcases thrilling matchups, with Aryna Sabalenka taking on Iga Swiatek and Lois Boisson competing against Coco Gauff. Sabalenka comes in with -135 odds against Swiatek’s +110, while Gauff is a significant favorite at -500 versus Boisson’s +380. Sabalenka has shown impressive form throughout the tournament, while Swiatek aims for a historic fourth consecutive title—an achievement no woman has accomplished in the French Open era.
Boisson’s journey to the semifinals has been remarkable; as the world No. 361, she entered this tournament having only one prior main-draw WTA victory, highlighting her underdog status and potential to make waves against Gauff.
Each of these matchups carries its own narrative and stakes, promising to captivate tennis fans as the tournament progresses.
