We’re just days away from the start of the second Grand Slam of the 2025 tennis season: the French Open in Paris, better known worldwide as Roland Garros.

Carlos Alcaraz beat Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 7-6(4) in a sloppy duel Friday afternoon at the Foro Italico in Rome. He will face world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who beat Tommy Paul later in the day, in Sunday’s final.

Carlos Alcaraz solidified his status as a hot favourite for the French Open that gets underway next Sunday with his maiden Italian Open title, beating world No 1 Jannik Sinner for the fourth consecutive time.
