The French Open 2025 semi-finals were a delight to watch. The tournament once again lived up to its expectations and delivered a dramatic result, signalling a new era in men’s tennis. With legends and rising stars clashing on the clay court of Roland-Garros, the tournament’s final weekend is set for a legendary showdown.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the finals, while Jannik Sinner stunned Novak Djokovic, who was seeking his 25th Grand Slam. Now, the stage is set for another blockbuster final at the French Open 2025, so let’s take a look at the semi-final recap.
French Open 2025 Semi-Finals
Carlos Alcaraz vs. Lorenzo Musetti
Carlos began the game a little weak as Musetti took the win in the first set, but the Italian was forced to retire due to a leg injury while giving a tough battle. Alcaraz, who is already a four-time Grand Slam winner and unbeaten in major finals, advanced to the finals without dropping a single set at the French Open 2025. This competitive edge makes him the title favourite.
Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic
Jannik Sinner delivered one of his best wins of the career by defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Sinner’s relentless baseline play and powerful forehand forced Djokovic to end his hopes of a 25th Grand Slam and an eighth French Open final. Sinner will now face Carlos Alcaraz in the final, which is set to take place on 8 June 2025.
Who Could Win The Final Showdown?
The final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is more than just a battle for the cup. It represents a shift in men’s tennis, with both players having dominated the last five Grand Slam tournaments between them. Alcaraz, however, the defending champion has the edge due to his experience in major finals with a perfect 4-0 record.
Both of them also competed against each other at the Italian Open 2025, which happened just before the French Open 2025, where Carlos emerged victorious.
Sinner, on the other hand, is in a strong form even after being out of practice for 3 months due to his doping ban. Their head-to-head record suggests Alcaraz could win the game since he leads the record with 7-4, including four consecutive wins over Sinner. Last year as well, he defeated Sinner in the French Open semi-finals, although Sinner has dominated the rest of the ATP tour, boasting a 91-3 record against other players since the start of 2024.
You can expect a tough and interesting battle between two of tennis’s superstars in the French Open 2025 final.
