In a historic turn of events at the French Open, a new men’s champion will be crowned today as Carlos Alcaraz faces Alexander Zverev in the final. This marks the first time since 2004 that the Roland Garros men’s final will not feature Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, or Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz, the 21-year-old Spaniard, made his way to the final by defeating Jannik Sinner in a thrilling five-set encounter. He has already made history by becoming the youngest man in the Open Era to reach singles finals in grand slam events on clay, grass, and hard courts. On the other hand, Zverev, who caused a major upset by defeating Nadal in the opening round, secured his spot in the final by beating Casper Ruud.
As the two players gear up for their first French Open final, the tension is palpable. Alcaraz is looking to add the French Open title to his US Open and Wimbledon victories, while Zverev aims to redeem himself after losing his first grand slam final from two sets up in the 2020 US Open.
The absence of tennis legends like Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic has added an extra layer of excitement to this year’s final. Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the showdown between Alcaraz and Zverev, as they battle it out for the prestigious French Open title. Stay tuned for all the latest updates and scores from the final day at Roland Garros.
