Jannik Sinner, world No. 1, defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) in a generational clash to reach his maiden French Open final, ending Djokovic’s 27-match win streak in Paris.

• Djokovic, 38, was chasing a record 25th Grand Slam title.
• Sinner, 23, used a powerful forehand and strong nerves to hold off the Serbian, saving three set points in the third set.
• The Italian, coming off wins at the 2024 US Open and 2025 Australian Open, was calm and clinical despite Djokovic’s tactical variety and late resistance.

Sinner praised Djokovic as the “greatest player of all time” and said the moment was “special.” Djokovic, despite flashes of brilliance, looked physically spent.

Final Showdowns:

• Men’s Final: Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz (advanced after Musetti retired).
• Women’s Final: Aryna Sabalenka vs. Coco Gauff.

This marks the first time since 1984 that both singles finals at Roland Garros will feature the world’s top two ranked players.
