Carlos Alcaraz is back in the Roland Garros final. While his semifinal ended earlier than expected due to Lorenzo Musetti’s mid-match retirement, the Spaniard’s focus has already shifted to the next big moment.
And that would be the highly anticipated Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner clash for the final spot.
Carlos Alcaraz, who was leading 6-3, 6-4, 3-0 when Musetti was forced to stop due to injury, showed once again why he’s considered one of the most exciting talents in the game. His third-set domination marked his second straight 6-0 set in the tournament, after doing the same in his quarterfinal match.
Despite making up to the final spot, the World No. 2 is looking forward to enjoying a blockbuster semifinal between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
“Of course I’ll watch it, I’m not gonna miss it,” Alcaraz said when asked about the upcoming clash. “It’s one of the best matches we can have in tennis at the moment… I’m gonna watch and enjoy. I’m a big tennis fan… it’ll be a great match.”
The young Spaniard often speaks about his love for the sport, and his respect for both Djokovic and Sinner is clear.
“Both of them are great players. I’ve had tough matches with both, and I know it’ll be a great level of tennis no matter who wins,” he further added.
Alcaraz’s path to the final hasn’t been easy, but his confidence and powerful all-court game have helped him weather the pressure. With Lorenzo Musetti retiring due to physical issues, Alcaraz advances to the 2025 Roland Garros finals, which will be one of the biggest matches of his career.
Whether it’s the ever-dominant Djokovic or the in-form Sinner who emerges from the other semifinal, the final promises to be a thrilling showdown between two of the best in the world.
“I’ll rest, recover, and get ready for Sunday,” he said with a smile.
Tennis fans, just like Alcaraz, won’t want to miss what comes next from the semiclash clash between two of the most hyped up tennis professionals. Well, with that being said, there is no denying that Roland Garros is set for a grand finish, and the young Spaniard is right at the heart of it.
