Bucket list moment for Italy's Jannik Sinner as he conquers the clay court of Roland Garros, clinching a spot in his very first French Open final! Who did he oust, you ask? None other than the six-time champion on Paris clay and holder of an impressive 24 Grand Slam titles – master tactician Novak Djokovic!
With a crowd gasping, the 23-year-old ace triumphed in a thrilling three-set battle, 6-4, 7-5, and 7-6 (7-3) in a spellbinding three hours and 16 minutes.
Next up, our courageous Italian contender is taking on fiery Spanish phenom, Carlos Alcaraz, in a Sunday showdown. Alcaraz is eyeing his fourth Grand Slam title and third straight, having nabbed the US Open in 2024 and the Australian Open at the start of the year.
However, history isn't on Sinner's side in this Grand Slam finale faceoff. With Alcaraz's 7-4 win-loss tally over his opponent and a four-match triumph streak before the 2025 Roland Garros final, it seems our plucky underdog may have his work cut out. Still, we're rooting for you, Jannik!
