The 2025 French Open may go down as the official starting point for a new era of men's tennis. It will be the first meeting in a grand slam final between the sport's two ascendent stars: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

After beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) in the French Open semifinals, top-ranked Jannik Sinner now must find a way past defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final.

After a gruelling French Open 2025 final that saw Carlos Alcaraz defend his title, the Spaniard continued to occupy second spot in the ATP rankings while runner-up Jannik Sinner remained World No. 1.
