Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in a hard-fought semifinal match at the French Open, securing his place in the final against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner, who hasn't lost a set in the tournament, faces a tough challenge as Alcaraz has won their last four encounters. Sinner's victory signifies a major milestone, making him the second Italian man to reach this final since 1976. Djokovic, emotional after his loss, hinted this may be his final match at Roland-Garros, leaving a poignant moment on the clay.
We try to push ourself in the best possible way. And the stage, it doesn't get any bigger now.
I tried to stay there mentally, trying to play every point in the right way with the good intensity.
These are rare and special moments. I'm very happy.
Djokovic kissed his hand after the defeat, then put it on the clay, as if saying farewell to the stadium.
