Carlos Alcaraz reaches first French Open final with five-set win over Jannik Sinner

New Indian Express  

PARIS: Carlos Alcaraz reached his first French Open final by beating Jannik Sinner 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Friday, making the 21-year-old from Spain the youngest man to reach a Grand Slam title match on three surfaces. Alcaraz won the U.S. Open in 2022 on hard courts, Wimbledon in 2023 on grass and now will play for the championship on the red clay at Roland Garros. It is the first men’s title match at the French Open since 2004 without any of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer. Sinner entered the semifinals with a 13-0 record in Grand Slam play in 2024 after winning the Australian Open in January.
