Get ready for an epic Sunday showdown!

The French Open 2023 is heading for a thrilling finish with a highly anticipated final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz is on a chase to catch up with Rafael Nadal, and this match could potentially set history in motion.

Alcaraz casually watched the intense semifinal clash between Sinner and Novak Djokovic on his hotel TV. "Both of them are unreal," he commented, "but I think Jannik has the edge right now. This Sunday promises to be amazing for every tennis fan."

Sinner talks size and promise

Sinner agrees, "It's not every day you get to play on this stage. This final against Alcaraz is game-changing for both of us. We raise each other's game, and I can't wait to see what the crowd's reaction will be."

Unwavering Sinner, Tough-as-Nails Alcaraz

Before they get to the fun, they've faced grueling battles. While Sinner demolished Djokovic with a 6:4, 7:5, 7:6 scoreline in the semis, Alcaraz trailed 4:6, 7:6, 6:0 against Lorenzo Musetti but eventually took the lead following Musetti's retirement. Interestingly, Sinner didn't drop a single set throughout the tournament, while Alcaraz stumbled four times.

Tactics and Instagram posts

Alcaraz commented on Sinner's semifinal performance, "The kid has been relentless, tearing apart his opponents. It's going to be a tough one, but I'm ready for the battle." Online, the Spaniard has even shared a significantly muscled-up trivia post - perhaps hinting at his readiness for the upcoming match.

And speaking of mental fortitude, both players seem astonishingly resilient on court—very much like their compatriot Nadal.
