Switched-on Alcaraz in French Open final after Musetti retires
Mumbai: There is a switch in the Carlos Alcaraz arsenal that he seems to turn on at will. Just when you feel you have him beat, or you are at par with the world No.2, he will turn on that switch and suddenly the afterburners ignite. Suddenly there's a spring in his step and he's chasing down everything thrown at him. Suddenly he's serving bigger, hitting the ball harder. Suddenly, he's turned the match around. On Friday, against the odds, Lorenzo Musetti looked the better of the two players in the early stages as he competed with Alcaraz in the semi-final of the French Open. The Italian won the opening set and refused to let the Spaniard surge ahead in the second. But Alcaraz managed to win the second-set tiebreaker. That was the cue for him to let loose. Musetti could not hang on and was forced to retire early in the fourth set. A match that started with great promise was left incomplete, with Alcaraz going through 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0. The Spaniard, all of 22 years and 20 days, is now the fourth youngest men's singles player to reach the final of a Grand Slam in four consecutive years in the Open Era - with only Mats Wilander, Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal being younger. Alcaraz, who has never lost in the final of a Grand Slam, is now three sets away from a fifth major. He played for two hours and 26 minutes against Musetti, but he is already raring to go for Sunday. 'I feel great, I feel that I am playing great tennis, I feel confident,' he said in his on-court interview after the semi-final. 'I've been doing great things in this tournament, and now it's time to give my 100% and go for the final on Sunday.' That's an early warning from the Spaniard, who overcame a two sets to one deficit to beat Alexander Zverev in the final last year for his first French Open title. He has been the overwhelming favourite this term as well. For starters, Alcaraz had, arguably, a more favourable draw given that the biggest contenders for the title - Zverev, world No.1 Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic were placed in the other half of the draw. Coming up against Musetti, Alcaraz was to play an opponent he had beaten five out of six times. And it was Alcaraz who made the first big moves in the match, challenging Musetti's serve. The Italian, No.7 in the world, managed to hold his serve though. And he turned the tables on Alcaraz at the most crucial moment in the first set. With the Spaniard serving to stay in the set, Musetti found the break to clinch the opener in 49 minutes. It wasn't that Alcaraz was faltering much. It was more that Musetti had employed tactics to keep the man from Murcia at bay. Musetti played with topspin, switched to flat strokes, sliced with relish with his one-handed backhand, and tossed in moonballs (he played 10 lobbed shots in each of the first two sets). He offered no rhythm to Alcaraz. The tactics worked and Alcaraz looked a touch rattled. But in the crunch moments of the tiebreaker, Alcaraz managed to get on top. And then he switched gears. 'The first two sets were really tough. I had chances to break his serve to be up, but I couldn't make the most of it. He was playing great tennis,' Alcaraz said. 'When I won the second set, I was a bit relieved. And then in the third set I knew what I had to do - just push him to the limit, try to be aggressive, not let him dominate. Just be myself. I was more calm. I could see more clearly and I could play great tennis at the beginning of the third.' In the third set, Alcaraz hit his forehand with much more power than he had throughout the match. His serve too started to give him more inroads into rallies - he dropped just one point on serve in the entire set. But while Alcaraz moved to a higher level, Musetti started to struggle with a hamstring issue. Down 5-0 in the third, a physio was called on court to try helping the 23-year-old recover. But about 10 minutes later, Musetti decided to retire from the match. Acknowledging the quality with which his opponent played, Alcaraz applauded Musetti and urged the crowd at Court Philippe Chatrier to do the same as the Italian walked towards the exit. This was Musetti's best performance at the French Open. Now Alcaraz, the defending champion, has a chance to match his own best in Paris.

French Open: Carlos Alcaraz bounces back against injured Musetti to return to final
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz had luck on his side Friday as he advanced to the final of the 2025 French Open. In a match lasting two hours and 25 minutes, Alcaraz emerged victorious after Lorenzo Musetti retired midway through the fourth set due to injury. The score at the time was 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0 in favour of has now become the fifth-youngest player to reach five Grand Slam finals in the Open Era. The Spaniard is also the third active male player to achieve the milestone, joining the legendary Novak Djokovic (37) and Daniil Medvedev (6) in the elite Open 2025 semifinals Updates Alcaraz played better tennis for the majority of the first set, making Musetti work hard for every point by forcing him to cover the entire length of the court. But Musetti somehow managed to hold and didn't let Alcaraz run away with the set. Alcaraz tried to use drop shots to good effect, but Musetti was equal to the task. At 5-4, Musetti drew first blood, gained two break points, and converted the first to claim the would have heaved a sigh of relief after earning his first service break of the match to go 2-1 up in the second set. But his joy was short-lived, as Musetti broke back immediately in the very next game. Alcaraz had a break point opportunity in the ninth game, but Musetti held firm and denied however, earned a second break to go 6-5 up and was just a service hold away from claiming the set. But Musetti had other ideas—he broke back for a third time to force a tie-break. There, Alcaraz brought out his A-game, racing to a 3-0 lead before closing out the set of victory for Carlos Alcaraz but no dance for us #RolandGarros Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025The third set was a completely one-sided affair as Alcaraz finished it in a mere 22 minutes. Alcaraz, who had to fight out of his skin to earn a single break in the opening set, delivered a bagel with three breaks of serve. During the latter half of the set, Musetti looked in a bit of discomfort and asked for after conceding an early break in the fourth set, Musetti decided he couldn't continue. As he walked off the court, Alcaraz was seen applauding his Italian opponent. The two shared a hug as Musetti's campaign came to a heartbreaking far as Alcaraz is concerned, he will next face the winner of the other semi-final between 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and World No.1 Jannik Sinner.

French Open final, Aryna Sabalenka vs Coco Gauff: A rare clash for the Parisian clay title between the world's top two
For a while, before Iga Swiatek came along and marked her territory at Roland Garros, the women's draw at the French Open regularly threw up surprises. Fairy tales out of nowhere. One-time surprise winners. Even Swiatek was one such story when she completed her first triumph as an unseeded player, ranked outside the world's top 50 in 2020. Now, with the Polish star's reign on the Parisian clay over after three straight titles and four in last five years, there will be a new champion on Saturday. But this ain't no surprise story. The title clash between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff for the 2025 French Open women's singles title at Court Philippe Chatrier is between the world's two best players at the moment, a rare occurrence in itself in Paris. It is the first time since 2013 – when world No.1 Serena Williams defeated No.2 Maria Sharapova – that the top two-ranked players are in the final at this tournament, and it is also only the fifth time in 35 years. Since 1990, the other such instances featured Steffi Graf and Monica Seles (1990, 1992), Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Steffi Graf (1995) and Serena vs Sharapova (2013). It is already an elite club to be a part of. In fact, not just at Roland Garros, it's been a while since this happened at any Major. The last time WTA's No.1 and No.2-ranked players played in a Grand Slam final was when Caroline Wozniacki defeated Simona Halep at the 2018 Australian Open. While this is Sabalenka's first French Open final, she has been the most dominant force in women's tennis in the last year and some. For Gauff, this would be a second chance to win the clay Major after reaching the final in 2022 where she was blown away by Swiatek 1-6, 3-6 – an experience she said she is better off for having in the build up to facing the Belarusian this time around. The past record between Sabalenka and Gauff is tantalisingly poised at 5-5 from 10 matches. At the Madrid final on clay this year, Sabalenka prevailed 6-3, 7-6 (3). Gauff's most memorable win against Sabalenka came in the final of the US Open in 2023, the American's only Major to date. Long considered a hard court specialist, the 27-year-old top seed Sabalenka, the most powerful player on the tour, will try to establish herself as an all-rounder with her first title in Paris. She has already won back-to-back titles at the Australian Open in 2023-24 as well as the U.S. Open crown in 2024 but she had never before reached the final in Paris with the slower clay not naturally suited to her heavy-hitting game. Her three-set semi-final victory on Thursday over Swiatek elevated her to a new level. She did not change her power game or adapt it to clay. Instead she used it effectively to forge past her opponent. Despite the closed roof that made the ball even slower, Sabalenka's serve was still a major weapon as she dished out a third-set bagel against Swiatek, who had been on a 26-match winning streak at the tournament and is nicknamed the 'Queen of cCay'. It is this power that Gauff, a far more natural claycourt player than Sabalenka, will need to overcome. A finalist here in 2022, Gauff is also looking for her first singles crown in Paris. The American does not have anywhere near the punching power from the serve or baseline that her opponent will bring into the encounter but her athleticism, precision and ability to stay in the rallies will be key. One of the best movers on the tour, Gauff has dropped just one set en route to the final. (With Reuters inputs)
