Djokovic admits it could be his last time at Roland Garros
Regardless of the tricky surface beneath his feet, the crowd of 15,000 desperate for him to falter or the intimidating résumé of the adversary before him, Jannik Sinner keeps on going. The world No 1 continued to demonstrate his superiority over all challengers at Roland Garros as he closed out a supremely clutch performance against Novak Djokovic, the sixth seed, with a 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) win to reach the final of the French Open for the first time.
Sinner has now won 20 straight matches at grand slam tournaments and on Sunday he will attempt to win his third straight major title. He is the fifth man this century to reach three consecutive grand slam finals, following the path of the four legendary players before him: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray. He has still not dropped a set in Paris this year.
