It’s semi-final day in the men’s singles at the French Open with the trophy now in sight for the four players left in the tournament. Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal means a new champion will be crowned this year but it remains to be seen which of the remaining hopefuls will get the job done.
Carlos Alcaraz will do battle with Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner in a renewal of their budding rivalry at 1.30pm (UK time). The other semi-final will see Casper Ruud go up against Alexander Zverev, who was caught up in a storm during his last-eight win over Alex de Minaur, at around 4.30pm (UK time).
It comes after Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini reached the final of the women’s singles tournament yesterday. Swiatek cruised past Coco Gauff in straight sets while Paolini turned on the style to make light work of Mirra Andreeva, also winning in straight sets.
