Novak Djokovic's Huge Retirement Hint After French Open Semi-Final Loss: 'Could Be My Last...'
Following his loss to world number one Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the French Open, Serbian tennis icon Novak Djokovic said that the match could be his last ever played at the venue and he is uncertain if he will return for another title chase a year later. Djokovic's top form cooled off as Sinner's quality shotmaking helped him seal a title clash with rival Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner defeated three-time French Open winner and 100-time tour-level titlist 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3). After his loss, he packed his bags and waved to a cheering crowd goodbye before leaving the court. The match featured points earned all over the tennis court, Sinner's precision and power, and his great serve. This all overwhelmed the 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic and helped the 23-year-old set up a first-ever major final between players born in the 2000s. Alcaraz stands one victory away from defending his crown at Paris after Italy's Lorenzo Musetti retired in the fourth set of their gripping semi-final clash on Friday. The 22-year-old Spaniard led Musetti 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0 when the Italian retired from the match after two hours and 25 minutes. Speaking after the post-match presser as quoted by ATP's official website, Djokovic said, "This could have been the last match ever I played here, so I do not know. That is why I was a bit more emotional even in the end." "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 is all I can say for the moment," he said. Speaking about his match, during which he showed some moments of brilliance, Djokovic, a 24-time major champion, said that "he did give him (Sinner) a run for his money". "I tried to make him work till the last shot. I did what I could. This is sport. You have to just shake the hand of the better player and move on. I must say that I was proud of my effort tonight [and] in this tournament, considering I was not in great form coming into Roland Garros, but he was just too good for me tonight," he added. Djokovic, who trails Sinner by 4-5 in head-to-head record, praised his opponent, saying that he has been playing "tennis of his life". "Jannik is the kind of player who loves to play at a very fast pace the entire match. He is very physical. He is very fit, and he is striking the ball incredibly well. He seems to always be on good timing. Rarely he is off-balance, and he is just playing the tennis of his life," he said. On the Alcaraz-Sinner title clash, Djokovic said that the sport needs their rivalry. The title clash will be taking place on Sunday. "The way they are playing and the way they are approaching tennis life, I think they are going to have very successful careers. I am sure that we are going to see them lifting the big trophies quite often," he concluded. Listen to the latest songs, only on

French Open final: Carlos Alcaraz must reduce errors, win mental battle to beat near-perfect Jannik Sinner
Over the last three years, as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have mounted their ascension to the top of the rankings and won multiple Majors, they have also created an engrossing rivalry. Their 11 previous contests — Alcaraz leads 7-4 — have witnessed some of the best that tennis has to offer at the moment. But never before have they played in a Grand Slam final. On Sunday, the two best players in the world will compete for one of the biggest prizes in the sport in the French Open final. The Italian World No. 1 has set a high standard of dominance on tour last year, and after returning from a three-month anti-doping suspension just last month, it has continued at Roland Garros. He has won 18 consecutive sets, dropping serve only twice, and often dispatching opponents with such ease that they celebrate just for winning one game. Alcaraz does have a blueprint to break through his rival – having won each of their last four matches – but its effectiveness is in question given Sinner's baseline performance in Paris so far. Sinner commands the back of the court against virtually everyone other than the Spaniard, whose superior forehand does much damage and allows him to contend with, and even hit through, Sinner. World No.1 🏆 World No.2 It doesn't get much bigger than THIS. — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 But the Italian's forehand has been near-perfect this tournament. He has 116 winners from that wing while leaking only 140 errors (forced and unforced) for a negative differential of only 24, a massive anomaly in today's game. To put that into perspective, Alcaraz, whose forehand is widely considered the best in the game today, has hit more winners (141) but also has 217 errors, making for a differential of 76 which is much closer to the tour average, showing not only Alcaraz's tendency to be more erratic, but Sinner's abnormally serene consistency. The Italian's pure hitting power is meeting accuracy, and more crucially, restraint, to produce as few errors as possible. Much will depend on the crossourt exchanges on Sunday, if Alcaraz can once again step it up on the forehand and start extracting errors from Sinner (which nobody has been able to do at Roland Garros so far), he will gain a substantial advantage. Another key area is rally length. In their semifinal, Sinner outplayed Novak Djokovic. The Italian won 15 more points than him in total, but the gulf in class between the two was there in the rally breakdowns. Sinner was far superior in the shorter rallies, winning 12 more points in those that lasted four shots or shorter. Within the 5-8 shot bracket, Djokovic won four more points whereas in rallies that were nine shots or more, Sinner showed his superior power and fitness to win seven more points. Against Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinal too, Sinner won 30 more points than his opponent in the rallies that lasted four shots or shorter, but that advantage ceased once the exchanges went longer, with the Italian winning only six more points than his opponent in rallies that were five shots or longer. Sinner's superiority on both serve and return means he gets on top in rallies from the very beginning; if Alcaraz can throw in variety and resilience to elongate the exchanges and disrupt the Italian's baseline rhythm, he may unlock a way to wear the Italian down. Despite what the numbers and finer analysis say, much of this encounter will hinge on whether or not Alcaraz can shed his recent tendencies to let his level lapse in the longer matches. Alcaraz knows how to win Major finals. He beat Djokovic in back-to-back Wimbledon finals with a blinding level of tennis, but he also wore down Alexander Zverev in last year's final in Paris in five sets despite never playing his best and hitting one error too many. In the past year, that aspect of his game, one may call it a fragility, has crept up a lot – he has lost sets in four of his last six matches in Paris alone – and a player in as fine a touch as Sinner will make him pay for those dips. At his highest level, as he has produced in Major finals in the past and against Sinner in each of their last four matches including as recently as last month's Italian Open final, the match may be on his racquet. But he must win battles of the mind first.
