Preview
World number one Jannik Sinner faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the most eagerly anticipated men's singles final since the start of the Rafa Nadal era 20 years ago at Roland Garros where the results were largely a foregone conclusion.
Italian top seed Sinner has been impressive since his return from a doping ban last month, charging into Sunday's final without dropping a single set in his six matches in Paris.
The 23-year-old outclassed 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in their semifinal to confirm his superb form on clay after also reaching the final in Rome in May in his first tournament back from his ban. He was beaten there by Alcaraz in straight sets.
Any doubts that Sinner was lacking match practice were quickly dispelled by the ruthless efficiency with which he has dispatched all his opponents in Paris to set up a mouth-watering final against arguably the most gifted claycourt player since 14-time French Open champion Nadal.
Sinner had never before reached the final in Paris but he will be looking to add the Roland Garros title to his rapidly growing list of majors, which already includes two Australian Open crowns and last year's U.S. Open.
He is on a 20-match winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments after lifting the trophy in New York last year and then clinching the title in Melbourne at the start of this year.
Alcaraz, who is attempting to become only the third man to retain his Roland Garros title this century after Nadal and Gustavo Kuerten, has won the last four encounters with Sinner.
Alcaraz's progression to the final has not been equally smooth, with the Spaniard dropping a set in four of his six matches, including in his semi-final against Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who retired injured at the start of the fourth set. But his occasional lapses of concentration during his matches in Paris barely mask his lethal force on the surface.
He won the claycourt tournaments in Monte Carlo and Rome while also reaching the final in Barcelona in a near-perfect preparation to Paris.

The 22-year-old Spaniard is currently playing at the 2025 Cincinnati Open in Ohio. After a tough match on August 10, he said he needs time to relax with family and friends away from tennis. This honest talk came just weeks after his loss to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, showing how even top players need a pause. Carlos Alcaraz on why taking breaks from tennis is important for him Winning his Cincinnati Open second-round match, Carlos Alcaraz had a discussion with Prakash Amritraj of Tennis Channel. To enter the third round, he beat Damir Dzumhur 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. Carlos Alcaraz said playing tennis many days in a row may be taxing. He said, "I love playing tennis and stepping on the court," but sometimes it is too many days, too many weeks consecutively. I hence like to take vacation with my friends and family, just lounging about at home, he stated, adding that these pauses allow him to feel new and prepared to come back stronger. Alcaraz also discussed his rest breaks following major tournaments this year. He took time off following Wimbledon and the French Open (Roland Garros). He spent days first in Ibiza, then later in southern Spain. "It has been wonderful to have those days," he remarked. "I came back hungry and ready to win again.' The breaks helped him win the Queen's Club title on grass and reach the Wimbledon final.

Carlos Alcaraz Battles Through, Ben Shelton Advances In Cincinnati Open
Carlos Alcaraz had to fight his way out of a second-set slump on Sunday to escape with a 6-1, 2-5, 6-3 victory over Damir Dzumhur in his opening match at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open. The Spaniard, playing his first tournament since a runner-up finish to Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon, raced through the first set but completely lost his way in the second, dropping his serve twice against the 33-year-old Bosnian. But he regained his intensity -- and cut down his errors, in the third. Alcaraz fired his seventh ace to set up a match point and advanced to the third round seconds later as his opponent fired wide. Alcaraz, seeded second, claimed his 12th consecutive match at the Masters 1000 level after titles in Monte Carlo and Rome. "It was a relief to get this win," Alcaraz said after committing 44 unforced errors. "It was a rollercoaster of good feelings and bad feelings. "I was happy to get the win in the end. I know that I have chances to do better. "I will use the day off tomorrow to get my confidence back. It was a little tricky, I need to play smart tennis." Alcaraz, runner-up in Cincy in 2023, next faces Serb Hamad Medjedovic, a 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) winner over Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor. American Ben Shelton, coming off his first Masters 1000 title in Toronto, eased through his opener 6-3, 3-1 as opponent Camilo Ugo Carabelli was unable to continue because of a right knee problem. The Argentine who beat Kei Nishikori in the first round, pulled up short after the first point of the third game of the second set, gripping his knee. With a tournament supervisor translating from Spanish, the South American then took a medical time out. Once back, he only lasted three more points. Shelton had less than an hour on court, something of a favor after a draining Toronto tournament which only ended on Thursday. "It's not easy to play a couple of days after winning any title," he said. "I feel for Camilo. I hope he has a quick recovery. "I wanted to compete and be a warrior this week - see what I could do," said Shelton, adding when asked about tape on his right thigh that he has "a few muscle things. "The legs take a lot of the force," he said. Sixth seed Alex de Minaur, the Washington champion and a Toronto quarter-finalist last week, was bounced by American Reilly Opelka 7-6 (8/6), 6-4, who crushed 14 aces and saved all seven break points he faced. Australian Adam Walton upset slumping former number one and 2019 Cincy champion Daniil Medvedev 6-7 (0/7), 6-4, 6-1 for the first top 50 win of his career. Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut dismissed Briton Cam Norrie 6-4, 6-3 while number nine seed Andrey Rublev beat American Learner Tien 7-6 (7/4), 6-3. Gauff fights through In women's action, second-seeded French Open champion Coco Gauff battled through a tough first set to beat China's Wang Xinyu 6-3, 6-2. Gauff, who lifted the trophy in Cincinnati in 2023 and went on to claim her first Grand Slam title at the US Open that year, grinded through a first set marred by five service breaks. But the seed steadied in the second set to run out the winner in 71 minutes on a first match point. "It was a rough start," Gauff said. "But it was about just trusting myself and the work we've done in practice. "I was able to let it all go in the second set." Third seed Jessica Pegula, runner-up last year to Aryna Sabalenka, defeated Kimberly Birrell 6-4, 6-3. Seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, finalist last season at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, needed her last-chance match point to cement a 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (7/5) win over Greek Maria Sakkari. The Italian winner blew her first five match points and advanced to the third round when Sakkari delivered a double-fault. Paolini also needed five chances to win the opening set.

Ex-Opener Says India Missed Virat Kohli In England: ‘If I were The Selector, I'd Have…'
Last Updated: Former India opener Dilip Vengsarkar said that Virat Kohli should have been allowed to bid farewell after the England tour. Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket was a massive shock for his admirers. One of the modern greats of the game, the former Indian captain walked away with 9230 runs and 30 centuries in 123 matches. Known for his fondness for the longest format of the game, Kohli redefined India's approach to Test cricket, leading the team to historic overseas triumphs and setting new batting benchmarks. While Kohli mentioned in his post that he felt he was done playing the format, not many seemed convinced by the explanation. Several cricket experts believe the situation could have been handled in a much better manner. Adding to the debate, former India opener Dilip Vengsarkar expressed that the star Indian batter should have been allowed to bid farewell after participating in the recently concluded series. 'If I were the India chief selector, I would have persuaded Virat to bid goodbye to Test cricket after playing the England series. We needed his class and experience in this series," Vengsarkar was quoted as saying by The Times of India. Earlier, in June, former head coach Ravi Shastri expressed his disappointment over Kohli's sudden retirement from Tests. Speaking with Sony Sports Network, Shastri said he feels sad that Kohli is gone and also about the manner of his departure. 'It's when you go; that's when people will realise how big a player he was. I feel sad that he's gone, the way he's gone. I think it could have been handled better, or there should have been more communication. If I had anything to do with it, I would have made him captain straight away after Australia," Shastri had said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
