Jannik Sinner will compete against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final on June 8. Seeking his fourth Grand Slam title, the Italian faces a formidible rival in the Spaniard, who has won their last four encounters 7-4.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets—6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3)—on Friday evening to advance to the French Open men's singles final against Carlos Alcaraz.

The rueful kiss that Novak Djokovic planted on Court Philippe-Chatrier said it all. The new guard is here, and his days of winning majors may be at an end. Hence the special salute that Djokovic gave to the French fans on his way off the court.
