Alcaraz Reaches French Open Final After Musetti Retires

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz advanced to his second consecutive French Open final after Lorenzo Musetti retired early in the fourth set due to a left thigh injury, with Alcaraz leading 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0. Musetti started strong but was hampered by injury as the match progressed. Alcaraz, now 22, has reached five Grand Slam finals and remains undefeated in these major finals. He could join Roger Federer in winning his first five major finals if victorious. Alcaraz will face either Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic as he aims to become only the third man this century to win consecutive Roland Garros titles. The match was marked by Alcaraz's sportsmanship and empathy toward Musetti.
