Jannik Sinner Advances to French Open Final with Straight-Set Victory Over Novak Djokovic

Paris, June 6, 2025 – World No. 1 Jannik Sinner powered into his first French Open final on Friday, defeating defending champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. The 23-year-old Italian delivered a masterclass in precision and composure on Court Philippe-Chatrier, ending Djokovic’s bid for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.

Sinner, who has now reached the fourth round or better in his last eight Grand Slam appearances, controlled the tempo from the outset. He broke Djokovic’s serve early in the first set and never looked back, fending off multiple break points with fearless baseline play and a rock-solid serve. Despite swirling winds and a vocal Parisian crowd, Sinner maintained his focus, unfazed by the high-stakes occasion.

The match was marked by Sinner’s relentless consistency, as he committed just 18 unforced errors compared to Djokovic’s 32. His aggressive returns and deep groundstrokes kept the Serbian legend on the defensive throughout the contest. Djokovic, who had battled through a series of grueling matches to reach the semifinals, appeared physically taxed and was unable to find answers to Sinner’s relentless attack.

Sinner’s breakthrough comes amid a season of remarkable achievements, including his ascent to the top of the ATP rankings and a maiden Australian Open title earlier this year. His victory over Djokovic sparked praise from analysts and fans alike, many highlighting his maturity and mental toughness on the sport’s biggest stage.

The Italian now turns his attention to Sunday’s final, where he will face Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz. The championship match is set to feature two of tennis’s brightest young stars, both seeking their first French Open crown. With Sinner’s confidence soaring and Alcaraz in top form, the final promises to deliver a thrilling conclusion to the 2025 Roland Garros tournament.
