World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will face generational rival Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final after defeating 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in a grueling three-setter Friday.
Sinner fought off three set points late in the third and took the eventual tiebreaker to score a 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (2) win in three hours and 16 minutes, sending him to his first career French Open final while denying his 38-year-old opponent another shot at a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title.
Djokovic is currently tied with Margaret Court for the most majors won by a man or woman.
