FRENCH OPEN 2025 SEMIFINAL update
Alcaraz played better tennis for most of the first set, so he had to have a hard worked for every point by forcing him to cover the entire length of the court. But my Museti managed to hold and didn’t let Alcaraz escape with the set. Alcaraz tried to use shots for good effect, but Mouseti was equal to the task. At 5-4, Mouse drew the first blood, earned two breakpoints and converted the first to claim the file.
Alcaraz would earn relief after getting the first break to release 2-1 in the second set. But his joy was short -lived when he immediately hit the next game. Alcaraz had the opportunity to break in the ninth game, but Mouseti kept firm and denied him.
However, Alcaraz earned a second break to go 6-5 up and was just a service that kept from the set. But Mouseti had other ideas-he got off for the third time to force the failure. There, Alcaraz brought his game and raced on the lead 3-0 before closing the set clinically.
The third set was a completely one -sided affair when Alcaraz finished it in just 22 minutes. Alcaraz, who had to fight from the skin to make a single break in the opening set, issued a bagel with three breaks. During the second half of the ensemble he looked a little discomfort and asked for treatment.
However, after admitting an early break in the fourth set, he decided that he could not continue. When he left the court, Alcaraz was seen by clapping his Italian opponent. They both shared a hug when Mouse’s campaign ended up at the heart end.
As far as Alcaraz is concerned, the next time will face the winners of the second semifinals between the 24-Timed Grand Slam Champion Novak Djokovic and World No.1 Jannik Sinner.
