Sinner and Alcaraz: Leaders of the Post-Big Three Generation

The Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz final marks the first Grand Slam championship meeting between these two young stars. With four-time Slam winner Alcaraz and three-time major champion Sinner having split the last five Grand Slam titles between them, their rivalry is quickly becoming central to the sport’s future.

Amid the retirements of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and the waning dominance of 24-time Slam winner Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner have emerged as the new faces of the game. The winner on Sunday will be the 20th consecutive Slam champion with prior Grand Slam experience—underscoring the dominance of proven players in Paris since Nadal’s 2005 debut.

Road to the Final: Alcaraz and Sinner Impress

In the semi-finals, Jannik Sinner halted Djokovic’s pursuit of a record 25th Slam title with a straight-sets victory, 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3), marking his fourth straight win over the Serbian icon. Sinner is yet to drop a set at this year’s tournament and has now compiled a 20-match win streak in majors.

Carlos Alcaraz advanced after opponent, Lorenzo Musetti retired in the semi-final, trailing 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0. The Spaniard, who defeated Sinner last month in the Italian Open final, holds an 8-4 career advantage in their head-to-head meetings.

Stakes and Records on the Line

Should Alcaraz triumph, he will become the youngest man since Nadal in 2008 to claim five Grand Slam titles. A victory for Sinner would mark his third straight major win and position him to become the youngest male in the Open Era to complete the career Grand Slam if he wins Wimbledon next month.

Their showdown at Roland Garros could be the first of many French Open finals between the two, as both continue to shape the next great era in men’s tennis.

Gauff vs Sabalenka: Women’s Final Also Set

In the women’s singles final, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka takes on second seed Coco Gauff. It is the first time since 2018 that the top two-ranked players meet in a women’s Slam final. Their last meeting in a major ended in a dramatic win for Coco Gauff at the 2023 US Open, where she overcame Sabalenka in three sets.

What They Said

Ahead of the final, Sinner reflected on his rivalry with Alcaraz: “It’s fun and not fun—it pushes us to be our best. Facing Carlos in a Grand Slam final is special. The stage doesn’t get any bigger.”

As the world tunes in, the French Open 2025 promises a high-stakes clash that could define the next decade of men’s tennis.
