Alcaraz set for 'great' French Open final against Sinner after Musetti abandons

Carlos Alcaraz advances to Roland Garros final against Jannik Sinner after defeating injured Lorenzo Musetti in semi-final.

Carlos Alcaraz promised a spectacular Roland Garros final against top seed Jannik Sinner after the reigning champion advanced past an injured Lorenzo Musetti in the last four on Friday.

The Spaniard was leading 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-0, 2-0 after two hours and 25 minutes of play on Court Philippe Chatrier when eighth seed Musetti was forced to abandon with a thigh issue.

Second seed Alcaraz will defend his crown against world number one Sinner, after the Italian dashed Djokovic's latest tilt at a 25th Grand Slam with a straight-sets victory in Friday's second semi-final.

It will be the first time the pair meet in the final of a major.

"It's going to be a really great Sunday, I think, for the fans of tennis," the 22-year-old said.

"Jannik, he's the best tennis player right now. I mean, he's destroying every opponent through (to) the semi-final," he added of the three-time Grand Slam winner, who is yet to drop a set in the tournament.

When the dust settles on Court Philippe Chatrier on Sunday, the past six Grand Slam titles will have been shared between the two new dominant forces of the men's game.
