Paris, June 8, 2025 – Tennis fans are in for a high-voltage finale today at Roland-Garros as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner clash once again in what promises to be a gripping French Open final.
The highly anticipated showdown between the Spanish sensation and the rising Italian star will begin at 3:00 PM local time.
Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion, is chasing his second French Open title, while this marks the first Paris final appearance for Jannik Sinner. The two young talents have already carved out a fierce rivalry on the ATP tour, with this match adding another intense chapter. Alcaraz leads their head-to-head encounters 7-4, including his most recent triumph over Jannik in the Rome Masters final a few weeks ago.
Alcaraz booked his place in the final after a grueling semi-final match against Lorenzo Musetti. Although he lost the first set, the Spaniard rebounded impressively to win the next two sets before Musetti retired in the fourth due to injury. Alcaraz’s resilience and athleticism continue to define his journey in this tournament.
On the other side, Jannik Sinner secured his spot in the final by overcoming tennis icon Novak Djokovic in straight sets—an achievement that marked a major milestone in his career. The 22-year-old Italian, full of confidence and humility, acknowledged the significance of defeating a legend like Djokovic in Paris. “Meeting Novak here was special. He is a role model for all of us,” Jannik said in his post-match comments. “Now, I look forward to the final against Carlos. It will be tough, but I’m ready to give my best.”
This will be the twelfth meeting between Alcaraz and Jannik, a rivalry that has become one of the most exciting in modern tennis. Both players bring youth, power, and finesse to the clay court, setting the stage for an electrifying battle in the heart of Paris.
With Alcaraz aiming to defend his crown and Jannik eager to win his first Grand Slam, today’s French Open final is more than just a match—it’s a glimpse into the future of tennis.
