Jannik Sinner Defeats Novak Djokovic Sets French Open Final Against Carlos Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1, defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets (6-4, 7-5, 7-6) to reach his first Roland Garros final, ending Djokovic's bid for a historic 25th Grand Slam title. Sinner's precise and composed play, including a flawless backhand stretch and relentless serve, overcame Djokovic despite the latter's physical struggles and emotional farewell hints at the French Open. Djokovic, 38, acknowledged the possibility that this could have been his last match at Roland Garros, expressing gratitude for the crowd's support. Sinner will face reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final, who holds a recent head-to-head advantage, having won their last four encounters, including two finals in 2024. Despite Alcaraz's dominance recently, Sinner remains optimistic and focused on preparing for the challenge ahead, appreciating the significance of reaching the final. This final will mark the first time since 1984 that the top two seeds have met in a Roland Garros singles final and highlights a generational shift in men's tennis.
