PARIS : A flawless Casper Ruud returned to the French Open final for a second year running by dismantling German 22nd seed Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-4 6-0 in a battle of big-hitters on Friday to set up a showdown with 22-times Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
Ruud is through to his third Grand Slam final in his past five tournaments. He was runner-up to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros in 2022 and then lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open final.
PARIS : Novak Djokovic was in a perfect place on Friday after his much-awaited French Open semi-final clash against a cramping Carlos Alacaraz ended in abrupt fashion and left him with a record 23rd men's Grand Slam title within touching distance.
Casper Ruud made it back-to-back French Open final appearances after cruising to a 6-3 6-4 6-0 win over Alexander Zverev. A year ago, the Norwegian was dismantled in straight sets by Rafael Nadal; 12 months on the test looks no easier as Novak Djokovic lies in wait in Sunday’s final following his win over Carlos Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz may have seen his 2023 French Open hopes fade away after he lost to Novak Djokovic having suffered from cramps in their semi-final, but his miracle shot will be remembered for years to come. The world No. 1 and top seed eventually lost out in four sets, 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1, to the 22-time Grand Slam champion on Court Philippe-Chatrier, but he undoubtedly produced the shot of the day — and arguably the entire tournament — as he thrilled the crowd with an unusual scoop in the second set.
Argentine icon Lionel Messi brought his 23-year stay in Europe to a close earlier this week by confirming he will join US outfit Inter Miami.
PARIS : World number one Carlos Alcaraz' effort in tightly-contested first and second sets of his French Open semi-final defeat by Novak Djokovic on Friday caused cramping in his entire body, forcing him to shift down and eventually lose the match.
Novak Djokovic defeated an ailing Carlos Alcaraz 6-2, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 on Friday to become the second oldest men's finalist in French Open history and close in on a record 23rd Grand Slam title.
