French Open: Alcaraz Advances To Final After Musetti’s Injury Retirement
Carlos Alcaraz: Carlos Alcaraz moved a step closer to defending his Roland Garros crown on Friday, advancing to his second consecutive final in Paris after Lorenzo Musetti was forced to retire in their semifinal clash. The 22-year-old Spaniard led 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0 when Musetti, hampered by a left leg issue, pulled the plug on his campaign after two hours and 25 minutes of spirited tennis.
Musetti, who had stunned Novak Djokovic earlier in the tournament and enjoyed a strong clay season, called for a medical timeout at 0-5 in the third set. Despite briefly continuing, the Italian was visibly in discomfort and could no longer compete at the level required to challenge Alcaraz’s relentless baseline assault.
“It’s never great getting through or winning a match like this,” Alcaraz said in his on-court interview. “Lorenzo is a great player. He has had an incredible clay season…I always wish him all the best, a quick recovery, and hopefully, we are going to enjoy his tennis pretty soon.”
