All-time great Novak Djokovic resumes his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title as he faces World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the 2025 French Open semifinal on Friday.
The 38-year-old rallied back from losing the first set to World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinal to win the clash 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Despite a slow start to the clay season, Djokovic proved yet again why he can’t be counted out yet. He has just lost the one set en route the final four.
Sinner is out to redeem himself after serving a three-month doping ban and has been in phenomenal form since returning. He is yet to drop a set in this year’s French Open, and reached his second second successive Roland Garros semifinal with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 victory over Alexander Bublik.
