VIDEO. Roland-Garros 2025: Highlights of Jannik Sinner's semi-final victory over Novak Djokovic
Despite a fine performance from the Serbian, the Italian gave the impression on Friday of being in constant control, qualifying for his first final in Paris where he will challenge Carlos Alcaraz.
Since the draw, the match had been anticipated. Despite a mixed season, Novak Djokovic was expected to perform at the highest level at Roland Garros. The idea of a hypothetical duel with Jannik Sinner, the new boss of world tennis, was enticing. The encounter took place in the semi-finals on Friday, June 6, and lived up to all expectations on the Philippe-Chatrier court. And it was the impressive Italian who was declared the winner in three sets (6-4, 7-5, 7-6[3]) .
In 3 hours and 16 minutes, the Italian confirmed his dominance, securing his ticket to his first career final at Roland Garros, and a new encounter with Carlos Alcaraz, the man who eliminated him in the semifinals here last year. Opposite him, Novak Djokovic showed that despite his 38 years, he is still among the elite of world tennis. But the record holder for weeks at the top of the world hierarchy no longer holds the throne.
