Carlos Alcaraz into French Open final after Lorenzo Musetti retires injured
ROLAND GARROS, PARIS — This wasn't a statement French Open performance from Carlos Alcaraz, but in wearing down Lorenzo Musetti to reach his second consecutive final, he delivered a reminder of the gulf that exists between those at the very top of men's tennis and the rest. For a couple of sets, the No. 8 seed Musetti lived with the defending Roland Garros champion, before succumbing 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-0, 2-0 (ret). It was a sad way for the match to end, underlining the challenge of trying to live with Alcaraz for more than a couple of sets — especially on clay, where he has lost just two of his last 24 matches. Advertisement It felt eerily reminiscent of the final in Monte Carlo a couple of months ago, which Alcaraz won 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. On both occasions Musetti faded physically, which is not something that happens in isolation. Trying to live with Alcaraz is a gargantuan task, and it was one the Italian never looked like passing from the moment he lost a second-set tiebreak, missing the chance to take a two-sets lead. Like all great champions, Alcaraz has developed a welcome knack for picking up wins even when not playing his best. He did it again Friday, when for a couple of sets, it looked as though Alcaraz might sleepwalk into jeopardy under the roof on Court Philippe-Chatrier. He generally had the better of the opener, but failed to take a couple of break points and was then ambushed by Musetti when serving to stay in it down 5-4. Alcaraz missed five first serves, and the Italian, swinging freely, pinched the break and the set. Having only made 41 percent of his first serves in the first set, Alcaraz knew he had to tighten up that area of his game. He did it to an extent, getting up to 65 percent, but the greater margin reduced some of his potency, with his first-serve points won percentage dropping to 63 per cent from 73 per cent in the first set. Although Alcaraz broke Musetti at the start of the second set and towards the end of it, he was broken back immediately on both occasions. It felt as though the ensuing tiebreak would be crucial, and so it proved. Alcaraz rolled through it, and the thing that Musetti had been fearing would happen all match happened. Alcaraz loosened up, started grinning, and began to enjoy himself. Having clinched the tie-break with the help of a Roger Federer-esque forehand slice, he was hitting the ball much more freely, which meant both more power and invention. Alcaraz raced to a 5-0 lead in the third set, at which point Musetti required medical treatment at the change of ends. Moments later they were sitting down again, with Alcaraz having wrapped up a bagel 6-0 set. Advertisement Two games later, it was all over, and Alcaraz now has the chance to defend his title. He'll face either world No. 1 Jannik Sinner or 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, and said he would be watching their semifinal on Friday night. Alcaraz knows he'll have to be a lot better whoever he faces Sunday, but he also knows very well how to peak at the right time.

Sabalenka ends Swiatek's reign on clay to set up French Open final against Gauff
After successfully devoting the past few years of her life to becoming a more well-rounded player and mentally durable individual, Aryna Sabalenka arrived on court for her second French Open semi-final certain that she was finally ready for more. No challenge, not even the task of ending an era of total dominance at Roland Garros, felt beyond her. In the face of her greatest rival on the court Iga Swiatek has made her own, Sabalenka converted her phenomenal form and fortitude into one of the most significant victories of her career, as she held her nerve in three delicious, tension-filled sets to topple the four-time French Open champion 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 and reach the final at Roland Garros for the first time. Advertisement Related: French Open semi-finals: Sabalenka dethrones Swiatek, Gauff routs Boisson – as it happened Saturday's final will be a tussle between the top two players after Coco Gauff, the No 2 seed, put an end to Loïs Boisson's fairytale run to the semi-finals by ruthlessly dismantling the local wildcard 6-1, 6-2 to reach her second French Open final and third major final overall. Having entered her first grand slam tournament with a wildcard and a modest ranking of No 361, Boisson has produced one of the most surprising grand slam runs in history, defeating the world No 3, Jessica Pegula, and the No 6, Mirra Andreeva, en route to the last four. Gauff, who has been the most consistent player during the clay-court season with finals in Madrid, Rome and now Roland Garros, proved a step too far. 'I couldn't manage to get my game going, but apart from today's match, which wasn't all positive, the tournament as a whole was very positive,' said Boisson. 'And even today it's all positive, even though, you know, it is disappointing but she was just too tough for me.' Advertisement Despite long being considered a player who thrives on all surfaces, Sabalenka's sixth career grand slam decider marks the world No 1's first final appearance away from her favoured hard courts. Swiatek's incredible 26-match winning streak at Roland Garros and her pursuit of an unprecedented fourth consecutive French Open title comes to an end. 'It was a big match, and it felt like a final, but I know that the job is not done yet, and I have to go out there on Saturday, and I have to fight and I have to bring my best tennis, and I have to work for that title,' said Sabalenka. 'I'm ready. I'm ready to go out, and I'm ready to fight. And I'm ready to do everything it's going to take to get the win.' Although Sabalenka and Swiatek have established an era-defining rivalry in women's tennis over the past few years, only one of their previous 12 meetings had occurred at a grand slam tournament. The significance of this heavyweight bout was told by the dramatic, emotionally exhausting battle that followed. While Swiatek has spent this tournament trying hard to rediscover her best form after a difficult period, Sabalenka has looked perfectly at ease throughout. She has worked tirelessly on her game in recent years, evolving from a one-note shotmaker into a complex attacking player with variation and restraint. Her mental transformation has been even more essential, with the 27-year-old growing from an impulsive and over-emotional competitor to a player who remains composed under pressure. Advertisement The challenge of facing Swiatek on the Pole's favoured surface offered Sabalenka every reason to lose her composure. After taking apart Swiatek's pitiful serve early on, her own serve crumbled under pressure from her opponent's returns in a turbulent first set, but Sabalenka kept her cool and closed out an excellent tie-break. Then, in the second set, the tide turned rapidly as Swiatek played her most assured stretch of attacking tennis. As she has done so often over the past 18 months, Sabalenka shrugged off her disappointment, reasserted pressure on her great rival and did not let up throughout a flawless final set. 'The way the third set went, it's actually shocking for me, to be honest,' said Sabalenka. 'I'm super happy that I found the rhythm on my serve, and it was much easier after I figured I'm in control of my serve, and also I put so much pressure on her serve.' One day after the French crowd had first made its presence felt with an impromptu rendition of the national anthem before Boisson's stunning victory over Andreeva, they punctuated every shot of the warm-up with a cry of 'olé' while Gauff's introduction to the crowd immediately generated scattered boos. Unlike Pegula and Andreeva, however, Gauff maintained her composure and she blunted the French crowd with her own brilliance to reach another major final. 'I tried to block it all out,' Gauff said. 'When you guys were chanting her name, I was saying to myself my name.'

Consistent Coco Gauff takes sunny outlook into French Open final with Sabalenka
Coco Gauff was only 18 when she navigated a path to a grand slam final for the first time. After her breakthrough in the preceding years, and the intense hype and scrutiny that accompanied her as she tried to build her career, Gauff's run to the 2022 French Open final proved to herself and the world that she was ready to live up to those expectations. Although she did not win the title, her experience at Roland Garros then was an essential lesson that has guided her over the past few years. In the buildup to that final against Iga Swiatek, she struggled badly with her nerves and her intense fear of failure. 'At first I thought it would be the end of the world if I lost, and the sun still rose the next day,' said Gauff after beating Loïs Boisson in their semi-final on Thursday. 'So knowing, regardless of the result, the sun will still rise. Especially being in a city like Paris, I was walking around the next day, and no one knew that I lost [in 2022], and no one cared. Some people know who I am, but not a lot and not everyone. Just realising that however big the moment seems in our lives, [it] is not as big in the grand scheme of things.' Advertisement Related: Sabalenka ends Swiatek's reign on clay to set up French Open final against Gauff So now, Gauff will contest her second French Open final at a completely different point in her career. This year has proved to be a significant learning curve in itself. In the first week of 2025, she produced some of her best performances in the United Cup and her level in beating Swiatek, particularly, remains some of the best tennis by anyone this year. It seemed clear she had positioned herself for a great season. Instead, things became tough. After a quarter-final loss at the Australian Open, Gauff struggled badly. Across February and March, from the Middle East to the United States, she did not reach a single quarter-final. She has found her way again on the European red clay, piecing together an extremely consistent series of results, reaching finals at the Madrid Open and Italian Open before another stellar run in Paris has taken her to the final against Aryna Sabalenka. This tournament places Gauff at an interesting intersection. She has already enjoyed her first breakthrough, winning her first major title at the 2023 US Open and then backing it up by triumphing at the WTA Finals in Riyadh last year. At a time when two players – Sabalenka and Swiatek – have distanced themselves from the field by consistently racking up big titles on the biggest stages, the next question for Gauff is whether she is ready and capable of taking another leap forward and consistently competing for every grand slam. Advertisement On Saturday, Gauff will have a chance to measure herself against the best player in the world. Although both have developed into well-rounded players, with the American improving offensively and Sabalenka employing greater variety and restraint, this is fundamentally a battle between the best defence and the best attack in the sport. Their contrasting styles have made for a tight, intense rivalry over the years. They have played each other for five years now, their first meeting when Gauff was still only 16. They are tied at 5-5 and half of their meetings have been bruising three-set tussles. When Sabalenka is in full flow, striking the ball with total confidence, her heavy weaponry will usually be overpowering. However, Gauff, who was 21 in March, can unsettle anyone. The 2023 US Open final was their only other meeting in a grand slam final and the American narrowed the court with her phenomenal defensive skills, eventually driving Sabalenka to one of the most painful losses of her career. Although the Belarusian, 27, has risen only one spot in the rankings since August 2023, from two to one, she seems like a completely different competitor today. Not only is she a more complete player, she has gained so much confidence and contentment in her daily work. She has only been emboldened by her performances this week, particularly her impressive semi-final victory over the four-time champion Swiatek. The sun will rise again regardless of how the match pans out, but the stakes are high. Under these circumstances, a win for Gauff would signify the most significant achievement in her career.
