Carlos Alcaraz is through to the 2025 French Open final after a dramatic semi-final against Lorenzo Musetti that ended with the Italian retiring early in the fourth set due to injury. The highly anticipated clash saw Musetti take the first set 6-4, but Alcaraz responded with a tiebreak win in the second and then dominated the third set 6-0. Musetti, visibly hampered by a thigh injury, called it quits with Alcaraz leading 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0 after two hours and 25 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
This result propels Alcaraz into his second consecutive Roland Garros final and marks his fifth Grand Slam final appearance at just 22 years old, making him the fifth-youngest man to achieve this feat Alcaraz’s tournament win streak in Paris now stands at, and he remains on track to defend his title—something not accomplished since Rafael Nadal in 2020.
