French Open 2024: Alcaraz goes past Sinner in five-set thriller to reach final

Australian Open champion Sinner, who will take over as world number one next week, bowed out when he returned a massive forehand down the line wide on the third match point on court Philippe Chatrier. and I hope to play many, many more matches like this one against Jannik, but yes it’s one of the toughest matches that I’ve played, for sure.” Sinner got off to an explosive start, and his poise, pace and precision were too much to handle for an out-of-sorts Alcaraz as the Italian raced to a 4-0 lead. The Spaniard broke for 2-1 in the third set with a gravity-defying crosscourt passing shot as Sinner’s freefall continued, but despite suffering from apparent hand cramps, the future world number one clawed his way back and saved break points in the fifth game to stay in the contest.
