The two-time Grand Slam champion will face either Alexander Zverev or Casper Ruud.
CARLOS ALCARAZ OUTLASTED Jannik Sinner in an engrossing five-set battle on Friday to reach his first French Open final, where he will face either Alexander Zverev or Casper Ruud .
Alcaraz was not at his best for long periods, but found his form at the right time late in the fourth set, powering to victory on the back of 65 winners.Advertisement Alcaraz started to find his rhythm, but too late to recover in the opener as Sinner took it on his third set point. After 10 breaks across the first three sets, both players stabilised on serve in the fourth, with nine successive comfortable holds.
Sinner steadied the ship to keep the pressure on his opponent, but Alcaraz successfully served out for a place in the final in a tense ninth game, clinching victory on his third match point as Sinner blazed long.Ruud and Zverev will later meet for the first time since the Norwegian romped to a crushing victory in last year’s semi-finals for the loss of just seven games.
