The 2025 French Open may go down as the official starting point for a new era of men's tennis. It will be the first meeting in a grand slam final between the sport's two ascendent stars: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic produced the Grand Slam peak that has been the trademark of his late career, but Sinner was a mountain too high to climb.

Top seed Jannik Sinner advanced to the French Open final by defeating No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) in Friday's semifinal.
