The men's singles semifinals of Roland Garros 2025 bring together the four best players: Italian No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner, Spanish No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz, Italian No. 8 seed Lorenzo Musetti, and Serbian No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic.

In the first semi-final, Alcaraz will face Musetti at 7:30 p.m. on June 6, followed by the "big battle" between Djokovic and Sinner.

Notably, it took 65 years for two Italian players to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam. At the 1960 French Open, two Italian players, Orlando Sirola and Nicola Pietrangeli, both reached the semi-finals. Nicola Pietrangeli later won the championship.

Alcaraz (seed number 2) is clearly rated much higher than Musetti (seed number 8). With his class, the Spanish player is completely aiming to successfully defend his Roland Garros championship. In the 6 previous meetings, Alcaraz won 5 matches against Musetti.

Meanwhile, the match between Djokovic and Sinner promises to be extremely balanced and dramatic. The Serbian tennis player is in the best form and condition in many months of March.

A convincing 3-1 victory over third seed Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals showed that Djokovic is in great shape at the age of 38. However, his opponent in the semi-finals is Jannik Sinner - the current world number 1.

The Italian tennis player has just returned from a doping penalty and is very eager to conquer the Roland Garros championship to mark his strong comeback.

The history of confrontation also proves the balance when each player won 4 matches in 8 previous encounters.
