We know the two Roland-Garros finalists in the men’s singles table. Carlos Alcaraz, qualified in the afternoon at the expense of Jannik Sinner, was joined by Alexander Zverev in the evening, Friday June 7.
Alcaraz brings down the future world number 1
In a shock that was not as spectacular as their last confrontations, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in five sets and more than four hours of play (2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6- 4, 6-3). Tense, the two players alternated strong and weak beats, without both really playing very well at the same time. They both suffered from cramps, but Alcaraz, who learned from his semi-final elimination last year for this reason, fared better.
Alexander Zverev dominates a diminished Casper Ruud
After reaching an amicable agreement with his ex-partner in his trial for domestic violence, Alexander Zverev qualified for his first final at Roland Garros, after three failures in the semi-finals. Author of 19 aces, he also managed seven shutouts against an opponent who complained of stomach aches. He will try to win his first Grand Slam tournament on Sunday.
Ksenia Chasteau, double first
The young Frenchwoman, world number 1 in junior wheelchair tennis, won the first Roland-Garros junior tournament in her discipline, beating the American Maylee Phelps. And it was not against her, but with her, that she then won the doubles tournament.
