Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to face off in the men’s singles final at the French Open after both players delivered impressive performances in their respective semi-finals. Alcaraz, who was challenged by Lorenzo Musetti, initially lost the first set but rallied to win the next two before Musetti retired due to injury. This victory positions the 22-year-old Spaniard with an opportunity to retain the French Open title, a feat last accomplished by Rafael Nadal in 2020.
Meanwhile, Sinner continued his dominating form by defeating Novak Djokovic in a fierce match that saw him take the victory with a score of 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3). This win extends Sinner’s remarkable 20-match winning streak at Grand Slam tournaments and adds to his growing collection, which includes titles from both the US and Australian Opens.
