World number one Jannik Sinner is all set to face Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-final clash of the Roland Garros, which is slated to take place on June 6 in Paris. Notably, both players will be looking to win the semi-final clash to make it to the finals and grab the title in the absence of legendary players Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The 14-time French champion Nadal was ousted by Zverev in the opening round, while Novak has withdrawn after sustained injuries in the fourth round of the game.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz defeated J.J. Wolf in the opening round of the game, while he defeated Jesper De Jong in the second round. However, he later thrashed Sebastian Korda in the third round before defeating in-form Felix Auger-Aliassime in the following round. The young player faced Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinal and defeated him to enter the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Sinner had outclassed Christopher Eubanks in the opening round of the game before eliminating Richard Gasquet, Pavel Kotov, and Corentin Moutet in the following round. The star player later defeated Dimitrov in the quarterfinals of the game to take the world's number-one spot.
