Carlos Alcaraz has reached the 2025 French Open men's singles final after Lorenzo Musetti retired from the semifinal match during the fourth set on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros in Paris.
Musetti's retirement was due to a left thigh injury, for which he received treatment during the third set and again before the fourth set began. Alcaraz was leading two sets to one at the time of the retirement, with a score of 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0 and 2-0.
"It's not great to win a match like this. Lorenzo is a great player," Alcaraz told ESPN after the match. "I wish him all the best, and wish him a quick recovery and hope to see him soon on the court."
Alcaraz's journey to the final may be complete, but now he waits to see who his opponent will be. He will face the winner of the semifinal match between Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday.

Novak Djokovic's Wife Sends Message After His French Open Exit
Novak Djokovic's Wife Sends Message After His French Open Exit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Novak Djokovic's French Open run this 2025 is officially over. The Serbian tennis great, who continues to defy father time with his elite play on the court, lost to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in their showdown at Court Philippe Chatrier on Friday, 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3). Advertisement While Sinner won in straight sets to keep his immaculate record in this year's competition intact, it wasn't an easy victory at all for the Italian. Novak Djokovic came close to handing the top seed his first set loss in the tournament when he went up 5-4 in the third set and reached set point three times. Following the defeat, the 38-year-old legend was naturally emotional. He admitted that it "could have been the last match" he played at Roland-Garros, hinting at a potential retirement even though nothing is certain yet. Djoker also showed his appreciation for the French Open crowd, noting that the kind of support he received in the competition was "incredible." "Not the happiest because of the loss, but I tried to show my gratitude to the crowd because they were terrific in the moments when it seemed like it was going all his way," the World No. 5 said of the crowd. Advertisement "They would lift me up, they would encourage me and give me strength to keep going and fight to the last ball." After the official Roland-Garros Instagram account shared a video of Novak Djokovic's message following the game, his wife took to the comment section to share her love for her husband and cheer him on. Jelena Djokovic wrote, "So proud of you my love." It's worth noting that the mother of two was in attendance at the French Open to show her support for the 24-time Grand Slam winner. She was joined by their kids, Stefan Djokovic and Tara Djokovic.

3 Things WWE Fans Should Watch for During 'Money in the Bank 2025'
3 Things WWE Fans Should Watch for During 'Money in the Bank 2025' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WWE is making last-minute preparations ahead of "Money in the Bank 2025," and there are some things to watch for. Advertisement Ahead of the go-home episode of "SmackDown," WWE has just four matches booked for the MITB card. The men's and women's ladder matches take up two spots on the card. Then, there's the big tag team match that will see Cody Rhodes tagging with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso to take on Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and Logan Paul. The WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship will be on the line. Following their heavily praised match at "Backlash," titleholder Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch will collide once again. Lynch has demanded that her former protégé raise her hand after the match if she becomes the new champion. Despite just four matches being planned for MITB, there's a lot for fans to look forward to. Plenty of questions will be answered on Saturday. A Seth Rollins Win Is Too Obvious? Paul Heyman aligns with Seth Rollins at the conclusion of "WWE WrestleMania 41" Saturday.(via WWE) Seth Rollins is a major favorite going into the men's MITB match. It makes sense, given that WWE has been making "The Visionary's" new faction look strong on the "Raw" brand. Rollins has backup in Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed if things go awry at "Money in the Bank 2025." Advertisement The question is, would a win for Rollins be too obvious? CM Punk has vowed to do everything in his power to ensure that Rollins doesn't win a world title again. Sami Zayn is aligned with Punk in the fight against Rollins, Paul Heyman, Breakker, and Reed. Punk and Zayn missed out on their chance to compete in the MITB match thanks to Rollins and his group. Is it time for payback? Proceed With Caution Naomi ambushes Jade Cargill following her match with Liv Morgan on "WWE SmackDown.(via WWE) Naomi has done wonders for herself with this character change. She has become obsessed with Bianca Belair, and there's a big match involving the two to be made once the "EST" is cleared to return to action. While Naomi has personal rivalries that haven't been completed, she's also competing in the women's MITB match. Advertisement Looking at the list of participants on the women's side, Naomi might make the most sense to walk out of the Intuit Dome with the briefcase. Naomi's character has a strong unpredictability trait, which could make her the top choice to obtain a world title opportunity whenever she chooses. While the other reported favorite to win the match is Rhea Ripley, she hasn't exactly needed a briefcase to remain in the title picture. Becky Lynch Holds Gold Again? Becky Lynch explains her decision to attack Lyra Valkyria during an episode of "WWE Raw."(via WWE) Becky Lynch gave Lyra Valkyria perhaps the best match of her young career at "Backlash." Valkyria scored the win, but Lynch attacked her after the match. Lynch has vowed to never face Valkyria for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship again if she loses on Saturday. Advertisement It's hard to envision Lynch losing to Valkyria twice in a row. The champion needs to face some adversity in this storyline, and a title loss would be the clear choice to get there. WWE could be setting up for a future title match between Lynch and Bayley, who was injured by "The Man" just before "WrestleMania 41."
