Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) in a thrilling French Open semifinal, marking a significant victory as Sinner advances to face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. This win makes Sinner only the second Italian man to reach the Roland-Garros final.

Despite some opportunities, Djokovic could not break Sinner's serve, illustrating Sinner's dominance throughout the match.
"These are rare and special moments," Sinner said. "I'm very happy." He extended his winning streak in Grand Slam tournaments to 20 matches, after winning the U.S. Open and the Australian Open.
Sinner gave him almost no chances, but there was a glimmer of light in the 10th game, when Djokovic had four chances to break Sinner's serve. The crowd broke out into prolonged chants of "Nole! Nole!" as Djokovic forced two break points at 15-40.
