Sinner stuns Djokovic to reach first Roland-Garros final
Paris, June 7 (UNI) World No.1 Jannik Sinner produced a commanding performance to defeat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) in a gripping Roland-Garros semifinal on Friday night, halting the Serbian's pursuit of a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. With the win, Sinner stretched his Grand Slam winning streak to 20 matches and his set tally to 29, advancing to his third consecutive major final after triumphs at the US Open and Australian Open. The 23-year-old Italian also became the first player born in the 2000s to reach the Roland-Garros final. Sinner now sets up a mouth-watering title clash on Sunday against Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, marking the first men's Grand Slam final between two players born in the 2000s. The semifinal showcased a riveting battle between generations – the current standard-bearer in men's tennis versus the all-time Grand Slam leader. Djokovic, 38, was aiming to break new ground yet again, but despite moments of brilliance, he found himself outgunned by Sinner's ferocity and precision. From the onset, Sinner asserted control with aggressive baseline play and broke Djokovic early in the first set to take a 3-2 lead, sealing it 6-4. Djokovic, who had received treatment earlier in the tournament for a knee issue, fought valiantly and thrilled the spectators with vintage shotmaking, including a dazzling exchange in the second set that drew roars from Court Philippe-Chatrier. However, even when Djokovic broke back at 5-5 in the second set, Sinner responded with relentless pressure, reclaiming the momentum with a forehand drive volley and a second-serve ace to clinch the set 7-5. The third set turned into a dogfight, with Djokovic saving break points and holding three set points at 5-4. But Sinner, unshaken, saved them all and dominated the deciding tiebreak 7-3 to close out the match in just over three hours. Speaking after the match, Sinner hailed Djokovic as a "role model" and admitted the enormity of the occasion: "It was a special occasion for me, in a semifinal of a Grand Slam against Novak. I had to step up, I had to play the best tennis I could." Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam titles since 2008, including three at Roland-Garros, showed flashes of his enduring brilliance but was ultimately overpowered by the speed and shot-making of a younger rival whose rise now seems unstoppable. With this victory, Sinner joins the elite company of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray as one of the few men this century to reach three successive Grand Slam finals. The men's final on Sunday promises to be a generational clash between Sinner and Alcaraz, with the Italian seeking to avenge recent defeats and secure a second consecutive major title. UNI BDN ARN

Jannik Sinner sinks Novak Djokovic to set up final clash against Carlos Alcaraz at French Open
Winner Italy's Jannik Sinner cheers Serbia's Novak Djokovic at the end of their men's singles semi-final match. New Delhi: World No. 1 Jannik Sinner notched a 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) triumph against three-time champion Novak Djokovic in a heavyweight semifinal clash at the French Open on Friday, and will meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final. Djokovic, the men's record 24-time Grand Slam champion, was overwhelmed by Sinner's power and precision from the baseline and on serve on Court Philippe-Chatrier, reports Xinhua. Sinner became only the second Italian man to reach the final at Roland-Garros after Adriano Panatta, the 1976 champion. 'It was such a special occasion for me, playing against Novak in the semifinal of a Grand Slam,' said Sinner. 'It's just amazing, and I had to step up and play the best tennis I could. I'm very happy how I handled the situation, but this shows again what a role model he is for all of us and especially for us young players.' 'What he is doing is incredible and I wish him only the best for the rest of the season. I think we are all very lucky to see him playing such high-level tennis, it's amazing.' In the first set, Sinner performed more steadily, taking the opening set 6-4 with a break in the fifth game. Djokovic started stronger in the second, but it was Sinner who broke first for a 5-3 lead. Djokovic held serve in the ninth game and then broke Sinner's serve in the 10th game while serving for the set, leveling the score at 5-5. Sinner stayed composed and secured another break, eventually taking the second set 7-5. Both players delivered top-level tennis in the third set, which ultimately went into a tense tiebreak. Sinner proved to be more clutch in the decisive moments, winning the tiebreak 7-3. In his post-match press conference, 38-year-old Djokovic reflected on the uncertainty of his future following the loss. 'This could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don't know. That's why I was a bit more emotional even in the end,' said Djokovic. 'If this was the farewell match of the Roland Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd.' 'Do I wish to play more? Yes, I do. But will I be able to play in 12 months' time here again? I don't know. That's all I can say for the moment,' he added. Earlier in the other semifinal, Alcaraz led 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0 against Lorenzo Musetti when the eighth-seeded Italian retired with a leg injury. Sinner, who has yet to lose a set in the tournament, is now looking to avenge his loss to Alcaraz in last year's semifinal, when he was defeated in five sets. Alcaraz has won his last four matches against Sinner, including the Italian Open final in May when Sinner returned from a three-month doping ban. 'Sunday is going to be very difficult, I know my head-to-head lately doesn't look great against Carlos but let's see what I can do,' said Sinner.
