Alcaraz reaches the final – Musetti has to give up

Now against Sinner or Djoković

The opponent gives up: Alcaraz reaches the Finale of the French Open

The Spaniard now has the opportunity to defend his title from Roland Garros. He doesn’t get a good start in the semifinals. But then the match takes a turn.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is back in the Tennis final of the French Open. The 22 -year -old Spaniard benefited in Paris in his semi -finals against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti at 4: 6, 7: 6 (7: 3), 6: 0, 2: 0 from his opponent’s injury. Musetti could not continue playing after 2:25 hours due to thigh problems.

Alcaraz is now fighting for his fourth Grand Slam title in the Roland Garros in Stade Roland Garros on Sunday. The opponent is either the world ranking of Jannik Sinner from Italy or Record Grand Slam Champion Novak Djoković from Serbia, who are still facing each other on Friday evening.

“It is never nice to win a match in this way,” said Alcaraz after meeting in an interview on the court. “Lorenzo played such a great clay court season. I hope that he will quickly get well again.”

Before the game on the Court Philippe-Chatrier, Alcaraz quickly went to the footprint of Rafael Nadal and had taken a photo. The stone badge has been adorned with the Center Court in Paris since this year and was published in the emotional honor of the 14-time Paris champion at the beginning of this year’s tournament.

But at the beginning of the semi -final, Alcaraz did not play like his legendary compatriot, who ended his career last year and had always shown his best tennis in the Stade of Roland Garros. Alcaraz had a lot of trouble with Musetti, who seamlessly established his strong performance in the course of the tournament.

Alcaraz had to hand in the first sentence and also had difficulties afterwards. In the second round it was a break in the front twice, but Musetti came back. At 3: 4, Alcaraz angrily kicked his bank. It was only in the tie -break that Alcaraz managed the sentence – after that nothing worked at Musetti.

Now the Spaniard turned up and gave his Italian rival no chance. In just 21 minutes, Alcaraz got the third set, Musetti already seemed struck there and was treated. The Italian tried again, but at the beginning of the fourth set it was no longer possible.
