Carlos Alcaraz outplayed Jannik Sinner in five sets to reach Roland Garros final.

Carlos Alcaraz has won both of his two previous major finals – at Wimbledon last year and the 2022 US Open, MUK TV Sports reports.

Victory on Sunday would see him head to the Australian Open next January seeking a career Grand Slam.

Carlos Alcaraz beat incoming world number one Jannik Sinner 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Friday to reach the French Open final and continue his bid for a third Grand Slam title.

Alcaraz, 21, will play fourth seed Alexander Zverev or two-time Roland Garros runner-up Casper Ruud on Sunday after becoming the youngest man to reach Grand Slam finals on all three surfaces.

“It’s one of the toughest matches I’ve played for sure,” said Alcaraz.

Alcaraz, who was hampered badly by cramp in last year’s semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic, had said that playing Sinner was like running a marathon, and it was the Spaniard doing much of the chasing early.
