法網》艾卡拉茲因對手傷退晉級 締造22歲五度闖進大滿貫決賽紀錄
衛冕者艾卡拉茲（Carlos Alcaraz）今在法網男單4強賽中，因對手世界第7的義大利球員穆塞蒂（Lorenzo Musetti）傷退，最終以4比6、7比6(3)、6比0、2比0晉級決賽，距離衛冕僅一步之遙。比賽進行至2小時25分鐘時，義大利球星因左大腿傷勢宣布退賽。

「以這種方式晉級並不完美，」艾卡拉茲在賽後訪問中表示，「穆塞蒂是位出色的球員，今年紅土賽季表現驚人——他是極少數能在所有紅土大賽都至少闖入4強的選手之一。我衷心祝願他早日康復。」年僅22歲的西班牙小將，就此成為公開賽年代第五年輕的五度闖入大滿貫決賽的男子選手，現役僅次於喬科維奇（Novak Djokovic，37次）和梅德韋傑夫（Daniil Medvedev，6次）。
在法網中央球場的屋頂關閉環境下，艾卡拉茲開賽便展現侵略性，頻繁站進底線內強勢擊球。儘管穆塞蒂首盤以精準防守反擊先下一城，衛冕冠軍仍堅持戰術，最終憑藉關鍵分表現連續兩年挺進法網決賽。
「前兩盤非常艱難，」艾卡拉茲分析：「當我拿下第二盤後如釋重負，第三盤開始就清楚必須將他逼至極限。保持侵略性、掌控節奏是勝負關鍵。」艾卡拉茲自去年5月起在紅土賽場已豪取33勝2敗，巴黎戰績更達18勝1敗。

穆塞蒂雖遺憾止步，但今年紅土賽季表現已創生涯新高——成為繼納達爾（Rafael Nadal）、喬科維奇、穆雷（Andy Murray）和季維瑞夫（Alexander Zverev）後，第五位同年包攬所有紅土大師賽4強暨法網4強的選手。
艾卡拉茲將在決賽迎戰頭號種子辛納（Jannik Sinner）與三屆冠軍喬科維奇之間的勝者。「這絕對是當今網壇最頂尖的對決，」談及另一場4強賽，西班牙新星難掩期待，「作為網球迷，我不會錯過這場比賽，當然也會從中研究戰術。但更重要的是享受他們帶來的精彩網球。」目前他保持大滿貫決賽4戰全勝的完美紀錄。

French Open: Coco Gauff digs deep to beat Keys and will face 361st-ranked Boisson in the semifinals
PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff kept double-faulting. She kept missing plenty of other strokes. She kept losing games in bunches. And all the while, she would let out a sigh or bow her head or look generally uncomfortable. What the 21-year-old Gauff never did Wednesday during a tense and topsy-turvy French Open quarterfinal against another American woman with a Grand Slam title, Madison Keys, was give up hope or go away. And, in a contest filled with plenty of mistakes, it was Gauff who emerged to grab eight of the last nine games for a 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1 victory over Keys and a third trip to the semifinals at Roland-Garros. Advertisement 'I have had that in me from a young age," said the No. 2-seeded Gauff, who won the 2023 U.S. Open as a teenager and was the French Open runner-up the year before. 'When times become more difficult, knowing that I can dig deep in those tough moments.' Where did that come from? 'Just a love to win, the will to win. It's not something that's taught or anything. It's just I have always had that in me, and not just in tennis but in everything. I'm a very competitive person,' she said. 'My philosophy is if I can just leave it all out there, then the loss will hurt a lot less than regrets of maybe not giving it your all.' Gauff needed to overcame 10 double-faults — three in the opening tiebreaker alone — and the first set she's dropped in the tournament, as well as deal with the big-hitting Keys, the No. 7 seed, who entered with an 11-match Grand Slam winning streak after her title at the Australian Open in January. Advertisement They combined for 101 unforced errors and just 40 winners across more than two hours under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly, chilly day. Nearly half of the games — 14 of 29 — featured breaks of serve. But from 4-all in the second set, Gauff held four times in a row while pulling away. She made two unforced errors in the last set, including just one double-fault. After falling behind 4-1 at the start, and twice being a single point from trailing 5-1, Gauff switched to a racket with a different tension in the strings to see if that would help. 'Maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. I'd like to think that it helped a little bit," she said. "Sometimes that stuff could just be mental. Maybe you're thinking, 'Oh, I changed my racket, I'm going to play better, and you start doing it. I don't know.' Advertisement She'll play Thursday for a berth in another major final, facing 361st-ranked French wild-card entry Loïs Boisson, who is on one of the most stunning runs in tennis history. Boisson beat No. 6 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (6), 6-3 in the quarterfinals to follow up her upset of No. 3 Jessica Pegula in the fourth round. Boisson, 22, is the first woman to reach the semifinals in her Grand Slam debut since 1989, when Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati both did it at the French Open. A crowd that offered support to Gauff against Keys via shouts of 'Allez, Coco!' was raucous as can be behind Boisson, rattling the 18-year-old Andreeva. The other women's semifinal is quite a matchup: three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek vs. No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. They advanced with quarterfinal victories Tuesday. It was Swiatek who stopped Gauff at Roland-Garros in the semifinals last year and in the final three years ago. Advertisement 'I have a lot more work left to do,' said Gauff, who raised her arms overhead then spread them wide apart after the last point against Keys, 'but I'm going to savor this one today.' Repeatedly, Gauff scrambled this way or that to get her racket on a shot from Keys and send it back, often leading to a miss. 'The court being a little bit slower, coupled with the fact that she covers the court so well, just put a little bit of pressure on me to go a little bit more for my shots and maybe press a little bit too much, too soon,' said Keys, who occasionally admonished herself with a slap on her right leg. 'There were a lot of points where I felt like, playing someone else," Keys said, 'I would have won the point.' ___ More AP tennis: Howard Fendrich, The Associated Press

Novak Djokovic hints at retirement after French Open defeat to Jannik Sinner
Novak Djokovic may have played his final match at the French Open. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was hoping to extend his record at Roland Garros this weekend with a trip to the men's singles final, but he lost to Jannik Sinner in straight sets Friday. Djokovic, 38, appeared emotional as he collected his bags. He kissed his hand and touched the clay surface at Court Philippe-Chatrier. He then spoke about the match, signaling it may have been his last at the French Open. "I mean, 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," he said. "But 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." Of the "Big Three," only Djokovic remains active — and dominant. AMERICAN TENNIS STAR JESSICA PEGULA SLAMS 'ABSOLUTELY CRAZY' COMMENTS AFTER LOSING FRENCH OPEN MATCH"Do I wish to play more? Yes, I do. But will I be able to play here in 12 months time? I don't know," he added. "I said it could have been my last match (here). I didn't say it was." Djokovic said he plans to compete at Wimbledon. Last year marked the first time in seven years the Serbian tennis pro failed to win a Grand Slam. His last win came in 2023 at the U.S. Open. His last win at Wimbledon was in 2022. "I feel like I want to play Wimbledon. I want to play U.S. Open. Those two, for sure. For the rest, I'm not so sure," he said.
