Sinner vs Alcaraz French Open final set to be historic as big 3 era slowly ends-OxBig News Network

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are all set to face off in what will be a historic French Open final at the Roland Garros on Sunday, June 7. Alcaraz and Sinner have been in sublime form throughout the tournament and have shown why they’re the top seeds at Roland Garros this year.

Alcaraz started his campaign with a straight-sets win over Giulio Zeppieri and then carried on the momentum from there. While the Spaniard did drop sets against Fabian Marozsan, Daimir Dzumhur, Ben Shelton and Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-final, he has always found a way to come back and get the win in the end.

Sinner, on the other hand, has been totally dominant and is yet to lose a set during the tournament. He breezed past Arthur Rinderknech, Richard Gasquet, Jiri Lehecka, Andrey Rublev, Alexander Bublik in straight sets before going up against Djokovic. The World No.1 defeated the Serbian in three sets, to almost signal the end of the big three era as Djokovic hinted that he may not be back at the French Open next year.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the interesting stats that makes the final on Sunday a historic one.

French Open 2025, Sinner vs Alcaraz final: Key stats

• Sinner vs Alcaraz will be the first men’s major singles final between players born in the 2000s. Sinner was born in 2001 and Alcaraz was born two years later.
• It’s the first time since the 2013 US Open that the ATP and WTA’s No.1 and No.2 players have reached the singles finals at the same major. The women’s singles final will see Aryna Sabalenka face Coco Gauff on June 7.
• This is the first time the ATP and WTA’s No.1 and No.2 players have reached the singles finals at the French Open since 1984. Then it was John McEnroe facing Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova taking on Chris Evert at Roland Garros.
• Since the start of the Cincinnati Masters last August, Sinner has beaten twice and both of the losses came up against Alcaraz.
• If Alcaraz wins on Sunday, it will be his fifth grand slam and he will complete the feat at the age of 22 years, 1 month and 3 days. Coincidentally, this was the same age at which Rafael Nadal won his fifth grand slam when he beat Roger Federer to lift the 2008 Wimbledon title.
