French Open final: Sinner challenges Djokovic in the duel of the titans!
Today, on June 6, 2025, world number one Jannik Sinner and record Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic will face each other in the final of the French Open. The highly anticipated duel begins at 7 p.m. This encounter is the ninth meeting between the two players, with both players having four wins each in their previous record. Sinner has mastered the tournament so far without losing a set and defeated well-known opponents such as Jiri Lehecka, Andrey Rublev and Alexander Bublik in the previous rounds, while Djokovic came from a set down in the quarter-finals against Alexander Zverev to secure victory.
Ahead of the match, Sinner is considered the favorite, especially as he has not lost a serve since the first round and has an impressive streak of 19 consecutive Grand Slam wins. Djokovic, who is aiming for his 51st Grand Slam semi-final, wants to achieve his 25th Grand Slam title with another success. He is currently on an impressive 22-match winning streak at the French Open since last losing there in 2022. “These challenges bring out the best in me,” explains Djokovic.
Historical contexts and rivalries
What is particularly noteworthy is that this is the first Grand Slam semi-final appearance by two Italian men in the Open Era. Sinner, like Lorenzo Musetti, who will compete against the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, was able to show an excellent performance and impressively proves the up-and-coming Italian tennis scene. While Sinner maintains confident form this year, Djokovic can draw on his experience as he is the oldest world number one in history, a feat he has already held since 2024.
The rivalry between Sinner and Djokovic is exciting as Sinner has emerged victorious four times in the last five meetings, although Djokovic triumphed in their only duel on clay in Monte Carlo four years ago. This competition is another chance for Djokovic to showcase his talent and consolidate his status.
