Not many believed that Djokovic would be able to win the French Open, as he had been performing unconvincingly recently. Uncertain losses to Holger Rune, Dusan Lajovic, and Lorenzo Musetti diminished faith in Djokovic’s capabilities. Djokovic also had a less than ideal start to his journey at Roland Garros, as he faced some difficulties against his early opponents. However, as he approached the finish line, his game shone brightly with new colors. The culmination was his victory over Carlos Alcaraz Garfia, whom he defeated with a score of 6-1 in the last two sets.
Casper Ruud has reached the French Open final for the second consecutive time. In the previous season, Rafael Nadal prevented him from winning the title. The Spaniard delivered a dominant performance, allowing the Norwegian to win only six games. Nadal is absent from the tournament this time, but Ruud will face an equally dangerous opponent. Like Djokovic, Ruud had a tough start to the tournament. In the first two rounds, he dropped two sets to relatively weaker opponents. Everything changed in the quarterfinals when Ruud confidently dealt with Holger Rune. His victory over the Danish player instilled more confidence in himself, and as a result, he didn’t leave any chances for Alexander Zverev in the semifinals.
