The 2025 French Open men's final will feature the world No. 1 and world No. 2 going head-to-head.
Italian Jannik Sinner, 23, and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, 22, are set to face off Sunday at Roland Garros in the final of the second Grand Slam of the season, marking the first final in Paris between two men born in the 2000s.
Alcaraz, the reigning French Open champion, moved on to the final after Lorenzo Musetti retired from their semifinal match during the fourth set. Alcaraz is vying for his fifth career Grand Slam singles title. Sinner advanced to his third straight major final after defeating Novak Djokovic in three sets. Sinner is the youngest to win 20 consecutive major matches since Pete Sampras (1993-94) and looks to take home his third consecutive Grand Slam singles title after winning the 2025 Australian Open and 2024 U.S. Open.
A NEW RIVALRY: French Open final pairs No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in final
Sinner served a three-month doping suspension after winning the Australian Open earlier this year. Sinner returned to competition in May and immediately worked himself into the Italian Open final, becoming the first Italian man to reach the championship match at the tournament since Adriano Panatta in 1978. Sinner's Cinderella story, however, didn't have a happy ending after he lost to Alcaraz in the final in straight sets.
Will Sinner get revenge and win his first French Open title and fourth major overall? Or will Alcaraz become the first player to win back-to-back French Open titles since fellow countryman Rafa Nadal's four-peat in 2017-2020?

Coco Gauff says Trump's election led to 'down period' in US following French Open victory
Coco Gauff became the first American in a decade to lift the trophy after the women's singles final at Roland-Garros and she was asked what it means to represent the United States. After defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in three sets to win the French Open, Gauff was asked what it's like traveling the world as an American. "It's means a lot. Obviously there's a lot going on in our country right now," Gauff responded, via The Tennis Letter. "Just to be a representation of that and a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don't feel as supported during this time period. Being that reflection of hope and light for those people." Gauff continued by bringing up this past year's presidential election, and the response by the country after President Donald Trump was elected for his second term. She referred to it as a "down period" in the States. "I remember after the election and everything, it felt like a down period a little bit. My mom told me during Riyadh, try to win the tournament just to give people something to smile for. That's what I was thinking about today," Gauff said. Despite the "down period" comment, Gauff said she is "definitely patriotic." "Some people may feel some type of way about being patriotic and things like that, but I'm definitely patriotic. I'm proud to be American. I'm proud to represent Americans that look like me and people who kind of support the things that I support," Gauff added. The 21-year-old dropped to the clay and covered her face at Roland-Garros following a thrilling match against Sabalenka. Gauff lost the first set in a tiebreak, but fought back to win the second set, 6-2, and came away with her second Grand Slam after a third-set 6-4 finish. The last American to win the French Open? Serena Williams lifted the trophy in 2015. "The crowd really helped me today," Gauff said after the match, as celebrities like Spike Lee, Dustin Hoffman and many more were noticeably cheering her on throughout the match. "You guys were cheering for me so hard, and I don't know what I did to deserve so much love from the French crowd. But I appreciate you guys." Gauff was also showered with praise by American celebrities, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Matthew McConaughey and more.

Coco Gauff's Behavior After Winning French Open Final is Turning Heads
Coco Gauff's Behavior After Winning French Open Final is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After beating Aryna Sabalenka for the women's singles French Open title on Saturday, Coco Gauff was naturally in a celebratory mood. And she made sure to spend it with the most important people in her life. Advertisement Gauff needed all three sets to defeat Sabalenka, who reigned supreme over her the last time they met on a clay court — during the Madrid Open final earlier in May. At the French Open final, however, the American star didn't let her Belarusian rival get her way. While Sabalenka won the first set, Gauff quickly recovered and made life hard for her opponent in the next two sets to win 6(5)-7, 6-2, 6-4. Sabalenka finished with 70 unforced errors, struggling to break through Gauff's defense and counter her lob shots. Following the match, Gauff was seen going to her parents, Candi and Corey, who were seated on the bleachers at Court Philippe Chatrier. The 21-year-old hugged her parents, with her dad seen jumping in joy. Advertisement Gauff proceeded to meet her team and hug them as well to express her appreciation. Fans absolutely loved the moment and shared their reactions in the comments section of Roland-Garros' video of the celebration on Instagram. "Teamwork makes the dream work — huge shoutout to the whole crew!" a commenter wrote. Another one said, "As they should, Congratulations to Coco Gauff, her team and family." "I love Coco's family," a fan added. "So polite and humble," a supporter remarked. A fifth follower shared, "Give coco her flowers!! So kind, humble, respectful and just hard working girl well raised and pure class!!! Won't be surprised if you win it again and again 2026 onwards." Advertisement "COCOOOOOOOOO DO YOUR THANG MAMAS!!
