French Open Men’s Semifinals: Sinner Tops Djokovic to Set Up Epic Final Showdown with Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner delivered a masterclass performance to defeat Novak Djokovic in straight sets—6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3)—and secure a spot in his first-ever French Open final. The world No. 1 now advances to a highly anticipated championship match against second seed Carlos Alcaraz this Sunday at Roland Garros 2025.
Sinner’s dominant win over the seven-time finalist marks a significant moment in his career and could signal a changing of the guard in men’s tennis. Following the match, Djokovic hinted that this may have been his final appearance at the French Open, adding an emotional layer to the already historic encounter.
On the other side of the draw, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz booked his ticket to the final after Lorenzo Musetti, the No. 8 seed, retired due to injury. Musetti was trailing 6-4, 6-7(3), 0-6, 0-2 when he was forced to withdraw on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Sunday’s final will be the first Grand Slam championship meeting between Alcaraz and Sinner. Alcaraz will aim to claim his fifth major title, while Sinner looks to capture his third consecutive Grand Slam, adding more intensity to what promises to be a thrilling showdown in Paris.
