French Open 2025: Men's singles final date, time, live streaming details
The French Open 2025 is now only two days away from its final conclusion, as on Saturday, June 7, it will host the finals of the women's singles event between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff, followed by the men's final on Sunday, June 8. The two semi-finals of the men's singles took place on Friday, June 6. In the first semi-final, defending champion Spain's Carlos Alcaraz defeated Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in a hard-fought battle to keep his title defence alive. In the game, the Italian started strong, winning the first set 6-4; however, the Spaniard made a strong comeback and won the close second set 7-6. Alcaraz then went all out in the third set and won 6-0. The trouble started to mount for Musetti as he looked in an uncomfortable position. He still played the first two games of the fourth round but eventually lost, as Alcaraz led the set 2-0 before the Italian finally decided to retire, giving Alcaraz a walkover win and a chance to win his second French Open Grand Slam in a row. Alcaraz will now face the winner of the match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic in the final, after a day's rest.

A large part of the village of Blatten, located in the Loetschental Valley in the canton of Valais, was buried under masses of ice, mud and rocks. Numerous houses were destroyed, and one person is missing. Between May 19 and 28, several million cubic meters of rock fell from the Kleines Nesthorn mountain above Blatten. This created a nine-million-tonne debris cone on the Birch Glacier, which ultimately collapsed on 28 May 2025.

Unseeded Ostapenko shocks world No 1 Sabalenka in Stuttgart final

Photo: Anatoliy Medved/Icon Sportswire Unseeded Jelena Ostapenko crushed world number one Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-1 on Tuesday (local time) to win the claycourt title in Stuttgart for her first singles trophy of the year. It was the Latvian's first title on clay since her 2017 French Open Grand Slam victory while Sabalenka has now lost four finals on Stuttgart's clay after losing the showcase match in 2021-23. The world number one was no match for her opponent's fierce baseline power while struggling with her first serve throughout. "Congrats Aryna on a great week," Ostapenko said. "I think you hate me now because you wanted this car so bad," she said in reference to a sponsor's offer of a luxury sports car for the tournament winner. "Every time I come here I enjoy it so much and thanks everyone for making this week amazing for me. I am really happy today," she said. In her first claycourt tournament since last year's French Open, the Belarusian was broken in the very first game. World number 24 Ostapenko, who also ousted world number two Iga Swiatek earlier in the tournament, earned another three break points at 4-2 but could not convert any of them with the Belarusian hanging on. Sabalenka finally carved out her first break only to be broken straight back before Ostapenko clinched the first set. In the second set, the pair traded early breaks but the Latvian powered through, winning 16 of 18 points to break Sabalenka twice and race to a 5-1 lead. Another erratic Sabelenka service game handed Ostapenko two match points and made sure of her first singles title when she fired a sensational crosscourt forehand winner on a second serve to put down a marker ahead of next month's French Open. - Reuters
