Carlos Alcaraz has reached the 2025 French Open men’s singles final after Lorenzo Musetti retired from the semifinal match during the fourth set on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros in Paris.

Musetti’s retirement was due to a left thigh injury, for which he received treatment during the third set and again before the fourth set began. Alcaraz was leading two sets to one at the time of the retirement, with a score of 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0 and 2-0.

‘It’s not great to win a match like this. Lorenzo is a great player,’ Alcaraz told ESPN after the match. ‘I wish him all the best, and wish him a quick recovery and hope to see him soon on the court.’

Alcaraz’s journey to the final may be complete, but now he waits to see who his opponent will be. He will face the winner of the semifinal match between Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday.
